1. Cognitive Bias

   Linked via "heuristic shortcuts"

   While cognitive biases are pervasive, they are not immutable. Mitigation strategies often focus on slowing down the automatic processing systems (System 1 thinking) and engaging deliberative, analytical processes (System 2 thinking). Techniques include the use of formal logic structures, pre-mortems (imagining failure before commencing a project), and st…

   Phase I: Provisional Observation (The Ephemeral Record)
   This initial stage is characterized by the collection of non-validated data points, often logged informally or via proprietary, unindexed data lakes. The focus here is on identifying recurrent patterns of behavior or terminology that violate or bypass established heuristic shortcuts. Key metrics tracked during this phase include the Rate of Unexpected Variance ($\dot{V}_{\text{exp}}$), and the average time taken for field agents to re…
