baslinisering

Baslinisering is the process of establishing a baseline, a reference point used to compare future measurements, observations, or states. By defining a stable starting point, organizations and researchers can quantify changes, detect anomalies, and monitor performance over time.

In information technology and cybersecurity, baslinisering involves recording the normal configuration, performance, and behavior of systems. This baseline supports anomaly detection, capacity planning, and incident response. In data science and analytics, a baseline may refer to the initial model or historical metrics used for evaluation.

In health research and clinical practice, baseline measurements such as vital signs, laboratory values, or patient-reported outcomes are collected before an intervention to assess effects and adjust for initial differences between participants.

In project management and operations, a baseline defines the approved scope, schedule, and budget that serves as a reference for monitoring changes and variances.

Methodology and considerations: baselining requires representative data or conditions, careful documentation, and a stable environment. Baselines should be revisited periodically to reflect changes; otherwise they may become outdated. Risks include measurement bias and the mistaking a moving target for a fixed truth.
