Key Principles
- Cite sources for market claims and label estimates or assumptions.
- Revalidate source age only when changed conditions can affect the current decision.
- Cross-check a claim when the decision depends on a contested estimate.
- Stop when additional business context cannot change the Opportunity or risk decision.
