Explain a nondecreasing fit before pooling adjacent observations.
Fix the order using the scientific question. State whether equal weights are defensible. Record all pooled blocks and inspect residuals without interpreting pooled values as observed equality.
Use synthetic or aggregate values only. Duplicate the blank row for additional records.

Ordered position | Observation | Weight | Pooled block | Fitted value | Residual | Rationale
________ | ________ | ________ | ________ | ________ | ________ | ________

Fictional example: Equal-weight observations 1,3,2,4 fit as 1,2.5,2.5,4; squared residual sum is 0.5.
