A profile interpretation strategy that involves collecting data mechanically but combining it judgmentally allows for a nuanced approach where the data is gathered in a structured, objective manner, but the interpretation and integration of this data into a coherent profile or decision are done subjectively, relying on human judgment and expertise. This approach is often used in contexts where the complexity or uniqueness of the information requires a more flexible, interpretive analysis than purely mechanical methods can provide.
