Practice

Four exercises you can use anywhere.

Claim check

Write the exact claim in one sentence, then underline the part that would need evidence.

Assumption split

List what the answer proves, what it merely suggests, and what it does not show at all.

Base-rate pause

Before reacting to a percentage, ask what the starting population is and what comparison is missing.

AI answer audit

Ask which sentence sounds most confident, then verify that sentence first.

Why it works

This is less game, more mental reps.

The goal is to build a repeatable habit: pause, name the claim, check what follows, and separate confidence from evidence.
