drawing conclusions
Deducing from evidence
Drawing conclusions is the mental process of forming a judgment or inference from available evidence.
You gather facts, weigh them, and arrive at an understanding: After reviewing the data, we can begin drawing conclusions about the program's effectiveness.
The phrase often appears in contexts emphasizing that judgment should follow careful analysis rather than precede it: Let's not start drawing conclusions until we hear both sides.
