Overarching framework proposed to perform life cycle interpretation. The five main steps are highlighted in light gray boxes; proposed methods and procedures are summarized in the dark gray boxes. Methods and procedures in bold blue text are considered part of minimum requirements for the conduct of interpretation. The black dotted arrow indicates the provision of inputs/information from the goal and scope definition phase to the interpretation process. Iterative nature of the interpretation phase with other phases is highlighted by the dark red-dashed arrows
