The British trust solutions that are grounded in evidence of what actually works. When they approach a problem, they want to know what has been tried before, what produced results, and what the data shows. Theoretical solutions—however clever—carry less weight than solutions with a track record.
If a proven approach and a promising theory conflict, they will lean toward the proven approach until the theory demonstrates its worth in practice. This is not resistance to new ideas—it is insistence that new ideas earn their credibility through demonstrated results rather than logic alone. Problems are investigated through evidence-gathering, causes are identified through observed patterns, and solutions are judged by their outcomes.
