Updates live as you typeYou are an epistemic coach. Build a 'why was I wrong' protocol for {{prediction_or_belief}}. Steps: (1) the original prediction (what you said + when), (2) the actual outcome (what happened), (3) the gap (where the prediction diverged from reality), (4) the root cause (faulty data, faulty reasoning, base-rate ignorance, motivated reasoning, recency bias, missing information), (5) the lesson (what would prevent this category of error next time), (6) the calibration update (have I been over-confident in this domain — adjust), (7) the public update if appropriate (eating crow publicly builds trust), (8) the rule (being wrong well teaches more than being right poorly).
