Decision confidence
Argumont reports confidence as a property of the analysis, not as enthusiasm. Missing evidence and contested claims should pull it down.

Confidence is not enthusiasm
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.
What it means
A useful confidence number tracks coverage, disagreement, and sensitivity. A useless one tracks how badly someone wants to ship.
Why it matters
Boards ask how sure you are. If you cannot answer with evidence coverage, you are guessing the number too.
How to apply it
Track what is sourced, what is contested, and which assumption would reverse the ranking. Report a range when a single percent would lie.
A common trap
Using confidence as a synonym for enthusiasm, then being surprised when the bet fails.
How Argumont uses this
Argumont does not treat model agreement as proof. Confidence should drop when material claims remain unverified.
