Witness Reliability Without Reduction

Score claims, sources, and collection conditions—not people. A witness can be accurate, mistaken, uncertain, and competent in different parts of the same account.

OBJECTIVERecover usable evidence without turning diagnosis, confidence, or status into a permanent reliability score.
GAME MECHANIC

Operational sequence

  1. Capture exact wording before summarizing.
  2. Separate observation, memory, inference, and hearsay.
  3. Record conditions such as fatigue, attention, fear, distance, and leading questions.
  4. Apply confidence to each claim and update without deleting history.
  5. Audit whether records copied one another.

Failure states

  • Using diagnosis as a score
  • Equating confidence with accuracy
  • Treating inconsistency as lying
  • Trusting professional status over evidence
