WYSIATI: coherence outruns coverage

The Alfa y Gama board at 09:20. System 1 built its story from the tiles it retrieved. The tiles it never retrieved do not feel missing. Watch what confidence tracks, then run the check that was skipped.

Read the board

Felt confidence climbs to the low nineties on three tiles because the story they make is clean. Coverage sits at half, and the empty half holds exactly the record classes a front company controls least: ownership and what governments publish about the owners. Nothing on the left board is false. It is just not the evidence the decision needs.

The quiet swap (substitution)
Question asked of youQuestion System 1 answered
How serious is this firm's integrity risk for our client?How professional does their page make me feel?
Should we put our client under their armed guards?Is their license current?

System 1 answers the right column and files it as an answer to the left. Lazy System 2 does not notice the swap. Restate the client's decision question in writing to catch it.

Bottom line

Confidence tracks the coherence of the story you can tell; coverage never enters the feeling. Missing evidence does not feel missing. Write the absence list before you write the confidence language.
