People need a set of criteria for knowing when they are ready for decisions.

The dominance rule is more fundamental than the other decision rules.
“Although a variety of decision rules have been proposed for how people choose among plenty of alternatives, it is asserted that the dominance rule is more fundamental than the others (Montgomery, 1983).”

When the decision maker finds arguments that are strong enough for making a choice, it is proceeded by the feeling of confidence that the decision taken was the correct one to make.
“Therefore, when the decision maker (e.g. the citing author) finds arguments that are strong enough for making a choice, it is proceeded by the feeling of confidence that the decision taken was the correct one to make (Montgomery, 1983, Vermeir et al., 2002).”

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.
