German term or phrase: Erfassung
"Insbesondere die Verlaufsdokumentation ist ein entscheidendes Instrument zur Planung, **Erfassung** und Reflexion der Interventionen des Coachs, ihrer Effekte und der dadurch hervorgerufenen (oder verhinderten) Veränderungen."

This word shows up in similar contexts throughout the document, but the literal translations don't seem to fit. Any ideas about what they might be driving at here?

capturing


Explanation:
Especially "capturing and reflection" often go hand in hand in these types of analyses and are often appropriately used in very different contexts.

Example sentence from source below:

"By already having the discipline to exercise some level of learning, capturing, and reflection in the midst of an emotional and urgent crisis situation"
