The Triad Approach is composed of three interdependent components: (1) Systematic Planning; (2) Dynamic Work Strategy; and   3) Field Analytical Methods.  Systematic Planning is the critical first step to ensuring that project goals are clearly articulated, that stakeholders have been heard, and that decision-makers are in agreement on the desired endpoints.  A multi-disciplinary technical team translates project goals into realistic objectives from which a Conceptual Site Model is derived.  The Conceptual Site Model evolves and progresses as data gaps are filled. Dynamic Work Strategy is used for making real-time decisions in the field. It consists of stakeholder-approved decision logic developed under the Conceptual Site Model.  Field Analytical Methods are the final component of the Triad Approach that is used to generate real-time data for rapid, team-based field decisions.  In theory, this integration of components can improve decision-making by reducing the timeframes associated with data acquisition while providing a better data set for less money.
