By contrast, the key finding is that confidence exceeds accuracy so long as the subject is answering hard questions about an unfamiliar topic.
Analytic confidence is a rating employed by intelligence analysts to convey doubt to decision makers about a statement of estimative probability. The need for analytic confidence ratings arise from analysts' imperfect knowledge of a conceptual model .

What is missing from the term 'impact' evaluation is the way 'impact' shows up long-term.
Confidence intervals should be valid or consistent, i.e., the probability a parameter is in a confidence interval with nominal level should be equal to or at least converge in probability to . The latter criteria is both refined and expanded using the framework of Hall. [ 41 ]
While it can be used by individuals working on straightforward decisions, the Promethee & Gaia is most useful where groups of people are working on complex problems, especially those with several criteria, involving a lot of human perceptions and judgments, whose decisions have long-term impact.
