Detection signals
- Process quality inferred only from final result.
- Decision context at time of choice is omitted.
- Retrospective certainty replaces ex-ante reasoning.
Outcome bias
Judging decision quality by outcome rather than information available at decision time.
The narrative treats successful outcomes as proof of good process and adverse outcomes as proof of bad process without reconstructing prior uncertainty.
Caution notes
- Outcomes still matter for accountability.
- Bias appears when process evidence is systematically ignored.
