Anchoring bias

Curated Category: judgment-heuristics

Early numbers or frames become a reference anchor for later judgments.

An initial claim, estimate, or benchmark disproportionately shapes subsequent interpretation, even when later evidence should substantially revise the view.

Detection signals

  • Repeated reference to an initial number despite updated evidence.
  • Later discussion remains centered around first estimate.
  • Insufficient adjustment after contradiction.

Caution notes

  • Anchors can be useful heuristics in uncertain environments.
  • Detect bias only when adjustment remains clearly insufficient.
