Checklists

Checklists are important tools that have been used in the medical profession and in aviation to help facilitate decisions and not to skip steps that may create an outcome that is catastrophic. Good checklists are simple guidelines but are very hard to create. It's very challenging to create a universal checklist that fits for every situation. Understanding things on a more conceptual level vs a literal level can often make a checklist more universal but you have to have a greater understanding of the conceptual model which can be challenging.
