I can see two interpretations.

In one, this is equivalent to

  • Write down your forecasts and explicitly list reasons for your predictions
  • Check whether the forecast was correct
  • If it was not, re-evaluate the reasons listed in step 1.

In the other, this is just an internal consistency check: if you believe A, B, and C, make sure they can co-exist and do not contradict each other.
