CALIBRATE

CALIBRATE is the practice of matching the strength of a judgment to the strength of the evidence, then updating when the facts move. Confidence is a report, not a personality trait. A loud claim with a thin source is a calibration failure, not conviction. The work is to score the claim, write what would change your mind, and revise the score when the evidence moves. The book that owns this name is available now in English and Dutch.

When to use it

Use it when a team is confusing loud certainty with a well-scored claim. If nobody can say what evidence would retire the judgment, you do not have a position. You have a mood.

Do not confuse with

Not a psychometric product. It is the named system in The Calibrated Mind, available now in English and Dutch paperback and hardcover.
