Situation
A museum plans an AI guide for visitors with limited vision. Staff assume voice output is the main barrier; visitor interviews have not yet tested navigation or consent concerns.
Method constraint
Confusing confidence with evidence or calling a vague belief a testable hypothesis.
Constraints
- State assumptions and protect affected people.
- Do not treat the method artifact as causal proof.
Case steps
Work through each prompt using the evidence pack. These guided cases support self-directed practice; server-scored attempts are not available yet.
Frame the decision and identify the affected actors and evidence gaps.
Apply the method to compare at least two interpretations or responses.
Choose one bounded next test, its owner, safeguard and rejection signal.
