Topic: Improve measurement quality

Situation: A water result may change a livestock or maintenance decision.
Observe first: Check sample handling, reagent age, method range, first nonzero step, lighting, timing, calibration and reporting basis.
First action: Repeat the measurement with the method steps controlled and confirm the unit and basis before acting on a surprising result.
Record next: Record kit or meter, lot or calibration, sample, time, temperature, raw reading, interpreted result, range limit and repeat.
Stop boundary: Do not invent precision between colour blocks, copy the top of a range as an exact value or compare results with different chemical bases.
