// what you take away
What you will take away
An artifact that fits on one page — and the method to measure whether your judgment is worth more than the machine’s.
01
The judgment record
The minimum unit: an atomic, immutable, resolvable claim, recorded the moment the analyst makes it.
02
The card
The one-page form — claim, confidence, drivers, assumptions, hypotheses, falsifier and sources.
03
Resolution and Brier
How to close the loop against the real world and measure calibration without hostile math.
04
AI is a source
The debrief protocol to treat the model as an evaluated source, not an oracle.
05
Implementation in 3 levels
From spreadsheet to dynamic projection — the order almost everyone inverts.
06
Where the model fails
The known limits, the failure modes and Kent’s objection turned against the author.
