Decision confidence
Confidence should fall when evidence is thin, dates are old, or roles disagree. It should not rise because the slide is pretty or the room is aligned.

A percentage is not automatically a probability
People paste 70% on a slide and treat it as a forecast frequency. Confidence in Argumont tracks how complete and contested the record is, not a promise about the world.
The distinction
A probability, used carefully, is a forecast about events. Confidence here is a statement about the analysis: coverage, missing evidence, and disagreement.
Why it matters
If you treat confidence as a win chance, you will over-bet thin records that happen to pick a winner.
How Argumont uses this
Low confidence can accompany a recommended option. That is not a bug. It is the product telling you the evidence is thin.

Outcomes & Calibration
A verdict is a forecast. An outcome is what happened. Argumont does not invent outcomes or publish fake case studies.
Incomplete information
Waiting for complete information is often a hidden decision to delay. Acting as if the gaps are closed is the other failure.
