Diagnostics, at its core, is the process of identifying the nature and cause of a particular phenomenon. This generally involves a methodical investigation of symptoms or evidence to arrive at a conclusion. While often associated with medicine, diagnostics is a crucial discipline across a vast array of fields, from engineering and technology to environmental science and finance. The ultimate aim is to understand why something is happening, or why it has happened, to enable informed decision-making.
