Overconfidence bias

Curated Category: confidence-calibration

Confidence in claims exceeds evidentiary support.

The narrative presents uncertain judgments as near-certain, with weak calibration of probability, error bounds, or alternative scenarios.

Detection signals

  • Strong certainty language with limited evidence.
  • Missing confidence intervals or uncertainty bounds.
  • Alternatives dismissed prematurely.

Caution notes

  • High confidence can be warranted in mature evidence domains.
  • Flag when certainty outpaces evidence quality.
