# Accumulate The second step in the [8-step decision-making process](/adizes/wiki/8-step-decision-making-process.md), in which all possible pertinent data related to the topics under consideration are collected and written down. All members in the group contribute their ideas in a disciplined order, first as individuals and then as a team. No judgmental comments may be made, and no questions may be asked except to clarify a person’s statement. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://adizes-institute.gitbook.io/adizes/wiki/accumulate.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
