Built to be contradicted
Every piece of evidence is logged with a source, a confidence level and an implication. Activity that cannot change the verdict is removed.
Five working rules
The decision is written first
The decision, the people responsible and the limits are written before work starts.
Thresholds before tests
The numbers that decide the verdict are fixed and signed before any test runs, so nobody can move them afterwards.
Evidence you can trace
Every claim carries its source, its confidence level and what it implies for the decision.
People decide, tools produce
AI does the sweeps, drafts and variants. A senior person decides what to test, what the answers mean and the verdict.
A refusal is a valid outcome
A NO-GO, and a decision not to work together, are both finished outcomes.
Three verdicts, defined
GO
The market answered above the signed thresholds. You commit, with the launch kit already built.
GO-IF
The market answered under the bar. You commit when named conditions are met, each testable, each with an owner and a date.
NO-GO
The market did not answer. You keep the file and the changes that would reopen it.
Eight questions, two minutes
The Reality Check names your first step: report, audit or pilot, or what to prepare at home.
