"Move the Dot Where You Think You Are"

A Failed Replication of a Produce-Judging Confidence Effect at Shift Handover

A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities tests whether a produce-judging study's confidence effect reproduces at a contact centre's shift handover, and finds a confidence dial that closely tracked a country-show ranking margin shows no relationship with what the next shift logs, tracking instead how quickly its rater clocks out. The contact centre has since bound shift-lead certification renewal to a rolling accuracy score built from the same dial.
