Reason under uncertainty without pretending certainty

Separate facts from assumptions, update a hypothesis without erasing alternatives, define revision criteria and ask for evidence that actually discriminates between explanations.

After this pack: Make uncertainty inspectable: show what is known, how strongly the evidence shifts belief, what lowers confidence and which next evidence would be most informative.
