Soil data is data that depends on the results and tests of the soil. Therefore, referring to the sources, references and applicable codes in the specifications and codes in regon of the construction area and implementing its recommendations according to the results can eliminate many worthless discussions based on personal speculations that are not scientifically proven.

To find common ground on soil composition data, facilitate a structured discussion where each colleague presents their findings and concerns. Use visual aids like charts or graphs to clarify data. Focus on shared objectives, such as project safety and stability. Consider conducting further tests or analyses to validate claims, fostering collaboration and consensus.

To find common ground when debating soil composition data with colleagues, I would start by listening to each person's perspective and understanding the basis of their interpretation. I would encourage a discussion grounded in facts, bringing any relevant studies, reports, or test results to the table. Focusing on shared goals, such as the safety and success of the project, would help align our views. If disagreements persist, I would suggest consulting an unbiased third party, such as an expert or additional testing, to clarify the data. By fostering open communication and focusing on facts and common objectives, a resolution can be reached.
