If this happens routinely you have a faulty problem solving process.

A good process automatically generates and preserves all important data, premises, rationale, and conclusions. These are the key output, not the model. In the difficult social problem solving process I use, the model is a mere byproduct used to illuminate the 22 steps of the process.
