When to Trust the Read

Pairing the read with its confidence label to decide how hard to lean.

3 min

The read and its label go together

A heuristic read is only as good as the input it saw. That is why it always comes with a confidence label. Read them together: a high-confidence heuristic is very actionable; a low-confidence one is a prompt to get better video.

This habit — result plus label — is the single most useful thing to carry into every report you ever see.

Key takeaways

  • Always read the result together with its confidence.
  • High-confidence heuristics are very actionable.
  • Low confidence means improve the input, not abandon the read.
