One essential requirement for performing a given analysis is knowing the potential consequences of the information or knowledge to be produced, which influence the choice of the analytical process. In choosing, one should be aware that specific uncertainty may be highly consequential. For example, a few tenths in the purity of a 500-kg gold batch can be more consequential on price than a few units in the percent moisture content of animal feed.
