Three-Question Credibility Check

Use the three-question credibility framework to evaluate a source or claim you encountered recently.

This exercise helps you systematically assess credibility by examining three key dimensions: source reliability, evidence quality, and potential biases or incentives.

Guidelines:

  • Answer each question with specific details, not general statements.
  • Reference concrete factors from the source (author, publication, data, track record).
  • Be honest about what you don't know—uncertainty is valuable information.
  • Synthesis should be 1-2 sentences with your final credibility judgment.
