Record original reasoning and confidence levels before…

Record original reasoning and confidence levels before outcomes are known to enable accurate learning from decisions.

Why This Is a Principle

This PRINCIPLE follows from Hindsight Bias and Calibration Necessity (memory reconstructs toward outcomes/hindsight bias), Memory is reconstructive, not reproductive—humans rebuild… (memory is reconstructive not reproductive), and Bias Blind Spot Asymmetry (bias blind spot). It prescribes WHAT to record and WHEN (before outcomes) to overcome systematic memory distortions. Highly actionable.
