In Ray Dalio's Principles he talks about the importance of being able to synthesize in order to make good decisions. And in order to synthesize well, you need to navigate the levels effectively (Principle 5.4). There's a diagram in Principles on how to navigate levels well that shows what good vs bad synthesis is, but Ray doesn't get tactical about how to do it. I was lucky enough to learn how to do it first-hand while at Bridgewater Associates and in this post I will provide a simple framework and practical example that will help you synthesize like a Bridgewater executive.
