Fragmented evidence

How a system reaches consequential decisions when each participant can observe only part of the problem.

Why it matters

Forcing one clean story too early erases provenance, contradictions and unknowns that should constrain the decision.

Recurring mechanisms

1

Evidence provenance and perspective boundaries

2

Explicit contradictions and missing accounts

3

Commitment scaled to current confidence

Discussion prompt

How can a decision record preserve disagreement without making action impossible?
