Conclusions alone can't be checked. When people share how they got there, others can spot the flaw, or learn the method.
The assumption
What I'm Taking As True
“I'm assuming traffic stays flat.”
- Makes the hidden visible
- Easy for others to challenge
The confidence
How Sure I Am
“About 70% on this.”
- Invites the right scrutiny
- Stops false certainty spreading
The trigger
What Would Change My Mind
“If p95 goes over 400ms, I'd rethink.”
- Turns a view into a test
- Makes updating easy, not a loss
Conclusions persuade. Reasoning teaches.
