What comes immediately after 'Gathering' in the decision-making model?

1. Document

2. Decide

3. Assess

4. Implement

The correct answer is: Document

After the 'Gathering' phase in the decision-making model comes the 'Document' phase. This is where all the information and data gathered during the 'Gathering' phase is analyzed, organized and summarized in order to have a clear understanding of the problem or situation at hand. The other options are incorrect because they either come before or later in the decision-making model. 'Decide' would come after 'Document' as it is the next step where a decision is made based on the documented information. 'Assess' would come before 'Gathering' as it is an initial step in the decision-making process where the situation is evaluated and information is gathered. 'Implement' would come after 'Document' as it is the final step where the decision is put into action. Therefore, 'Document' is the only option that comes immediately after 'Gathering' in the decision-making model.
