PROVEN / PROBABLE / SPECULATIVE Decision Tree

Interactive decision tree for evaluating claims and beliefs. Helps you figure out: Do I actually know this, or am I taking it on authority?

Live artifact: [Link pending — will update when published]

How it works: Answer questions about whether you can verify the claim directly, if you’ve read primary sources, who told you this, or if it’s about hidden/future/falsifiable territory. The tree guides you to one of three categories: PROVEN, PROBABLE, or SPECULATIVE.

Why these tools exist

Critical thinking isn’t abstract. It’s practical. These tools take the frameworks that emerged from months of real examination work (Sarah’s Daily Examinations, the consciousness chain work, the critical thinking methodology) and make them usable, shareable, teachable.

They’re not here to give you right answers. They’re here to teach you to ask the right questions about yourself and the world.

Using these tools

The Five Layers: Use this when you want to examine a belief you hold about yourself. Work through each layer. Be specific. At the end, you’ll know whether that belief is rooted in love (something you care about) or fear (something protecting you from pain).

PROVEN/PROBABLE/SPECULATIVE: Use this when you encounter a claim and need to figure out how much you actually know versus how much you’re taking on authority. It teaches you to distinguish between what you’ve verified, what’s likely true, and what’s not yet proven.

Both tools are designed to work on mobile, desktop, and tablet. Use them whenever you need to think more clearly.
