Each reason is a claim with its own page. Score = sign x (2 x Truth - 1) x Conf x Link x Imp x Uniq, and every column is here so the row can be multiplied out and checked. A reason argued false scores negative and counts against the side it is filed on; a reason nobody has argued yet scores exactly 0, and so does one whose own page has no work behind it.

Parts of the template nobody has filled in here. They are named rather than shown, because an empty table is not a finding, and each one is a reason the confidence above is not higher. A part that takes rows has a form for its first one.

What this page needs right now

#	The gap	Where it goes	Who is best placed to fill it
1	A first reason to disagree	Argument Trees, Reasons to disagree	someone who holds the opposing position
2	A study, record or dataset that bears on this belief directly	Evidence Ledger	anyone with the source

Named gaps, read off the tables above, so a newcomer can see exactly where a contribution goes. None of them requires agreeing with the page, and each one links to the form it goes in.

Quantity	Value	How
Argument score	+0.00	argument rows: weight for minus weight against
Evidence score	+0.00	evidence rows: weight for minus weight against
Prediction contribution	+0.00	prediction rows, same signed formula as every other row
Belief score	+0.00	the three lines above added together
Positive total	0.00	every row whose signed contribution came out positive, from either side
Negative total	0.00	every row whose signed contribution came out negative, as a magnitude
Starting point	0.50	where this claim starts before any of its own rows count: Nothing observed: no source type recorded, so this claim starts at a coin flip
Weight of the starting point	1.00	k x a bounded reward for independent replication, k = 1, capped at 2.0 x k

Truth score	0.50	argued truth, capped by the weakest load-bearing component that has its own page
ReasonRank	0.0000	how much of the site depends on this page: rank 2154 of 2173. The share of a walk that starts at the 162 beliefs and steps to the pages they read, with a 0.85 chance of stepping on each time
Work value	0.0000	ReasonRank x (1 - confidence): how much settling this page would be worth to everything above it
Completeness	no	at least one scored reason on each side (an importance page: at least one interest; an interest page: both readings filled)

Idea Stock Exchange, claim page sue-bird-who-became, 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: sue-bird-who-became.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.
