  • Tetlock's social contingency model holds that when decision-makers anticipate evaluation by an audience whose views are unknown, they engage in more effortful, integrative, and self-critical reasoning.

    “Tetlock's social contingency model (Tetlock 1983(Tetlock , 1992) ) provides the theoretical foundation: when decision-makers anticipate evaluation by an audience whose views are unknown, they engage in more effortful, integrative, and self-critical reasoning.”

  • When people think they will be asked to account for a decision, they suppress bias.

    “Reskin (2000) and Bielby (2000) build on accountability theory from psychology, which suggests that when people think they will be asked to account for a decision, they suppress bias (Tetlock, 1992;Lerner and Tetlock, 1999).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
