Keep missing evidence visible
Do not fill an empty data cell with a confident narrative.
Source foundation
Investment research begins with goals, risks, and an understanding of the investment. Investor.gov: introduction to investing.
A worked example
A fictional comparison has verified fees for one product and an unavailable fee schedule for another. The second cell remains unknown, with the source needed to complete it. Ranking the products on cost before resolving that gap would overstate the available evidence.
Original hypothetical example. Amounts, people, events, and scenarios above are invented for learning; they are not historical observations or forecasts.
What to take from it
An explicit unknown can be more informative than an unsupported estimate.
Try it on paper
Draft a comparison row that separates known facts from unanswered questions.
Keep the assumptions beside your answer. Check the result before applying the idea to a different situation.
