GAME MECHANIC

FALSE-POSITIVE RISKS

Ways the investigation can wrongly accuse or reduce a person

  • Treating diagnosis or distress as proof of deception
  • Treating access as proof of action
  • Treating a confident institutional record as neutral fact
  • Treating one mistaken claim as global unreliability
  • Treating cooperation as loyalty or refusal as guilt
GAME MECHANIC

FALSE-NEGATIVE RISKS

Ways uncertainty can become permission to ignore harm

  • Dismissing a valid observation because the interpretation is unsupported
  • Ignoring institutional incentives that shape the record
  • Failing to investigate reversible medical or environmental causes
  • Using uncertainty as permission to abandon a person
