Visual inference is the predominant mode of data analysis reported in single‐subject research; however, this process is subject to systematic biases that affect its use. To guide the process of visual inference, a four‐step model is presented for the assessment of: (a) reliability, (b) intervention effect, (c) meaningfulness, and (d) generalizability. A Visual Inference Checklist (VIC) systematizes this assessment process.
