A score is a claim with a number attached

A score says this option is stronger on this criterion, given this evidence. If you cannot show the evidence, the score is decoration.

What it means

Scoring makes comparison possible. It also creates false precision if you average incomparable things or invent decimals you cannot defend.

Why it matters

Without scores, ranking is a vibe. With unexplained scores, ranking is a vibe with decimals.

How to apply it

Score in the open, keep weights visible, and allow an appeal that can change the numbers.

A common trap

Scoring after you know who should win.

How Argumont uses this

Weighted criteria total 100%. Scores are inspectable. User-confirmed facts can move those scores. Consensus among models does not replace the arithmetic.

Decision scoring

Argumont scores options against criteria you can inspect. Weights are explicit. Reasons are stored. A model agreeing with itself is not a score.

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.
