An interest is a need, stated so it can be argued: "[who] need [what]". Reasons here are about whether the need is real and legitimate, never about whether the belief is true and never about how many people hold it.
Check table
| 1 | If the belief is true, the measure should show | Endorsement money concentrates on Clark. |
| 2 | If the belief is false, the measure should show | Endorsement money spreads across the league's stars. |
| 3 | Latest reading (with source) | |
| 4 | Basic test: do the two sides expect different readings? | Yes: the readings differ, so this interest is at stake in the belief. |
| 5 | Computed validity | 0.50 from 0 reason(s) to agree and 0 to disagree |
| 6 | Bottom line, typed by the author after the tables above | SportsPro reported Reese and Breanna Stewart led all players with 22 deals each in 2025, so the money is not all flowing one way. |
The five steps, answered from the pages above. Only the one-sentence bridge and the bottom line are typed.
DefinitionsThe full explanation →
- Validity: this page's truth score. It says how legitimate the need is in general, on its own. How much it drives a position is a different number (the Driver page), and how negotiable it is belongs on the feasibility track. Power never weights validity.
- Measured by (row 4) is what a reading of this interest looks like; the readings in the check table say what each side expects to see if the belief is true or false. Content, not scores.

Idea Stock Exchange, interest page black-wnba-stars-such, truth 0.50, confidence 0%, revision 42c8344 of 2026-10-04. The revision is what makes this quotable: these numbers move as the argument is worked on, and rebuilding that revision reproduces them exactly.
Every number on this page as data: black-wnba-stars-such.json. Constants: K = 1 · UNARG = 0.5 · DEFLINK = 1 · DEFIMP = 0.5 · DEFUNIQ = 1. A reason placed under a conclusion is presumed relevant until a linkage page says otherwise; the burden is on the challenger. The neutral start for importance, the wiki's own rule.
Every value here is computed from the tables above at build time. Nothing is typed.
