Audits whether a stated confidence interval means what it claims by running an equivalent-bet indifference test on its width and scoring nominal confidence against the actual hit rate, emitting corrected intervals and a calibration scorecard. Use when a human-stated interval or confidence number drives a consequential plan, forecast, or commitment and has never been audited, and the worry is overprecision rather than a wrong central estimate. Calibrates human-stated uncertainty only, never the…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# Interval Calibration Check

People state uncertainty as intervals - "two to four weeks, 90 percent sure" - and those intervals are reliably too narrow. Overprecision is the most robust form of overconfidence: stated 90 percent intervals contain the true value far less than 90 percent of the time, and subjective intervals are sometimes only a fraction as wide as the judge's own information would warrant. A stated "90" that historically hits 50 is not a confidence level, it is a habit of speech, and everything downstream that takes the number literally - an expected-value calculation, a risk model, a commitment - inherits the error. This method interrogates the WIDTH of a stated uncertainty: does your 90 mean 90? It runs two coupled moves that both operate on the width and never on the location of the estimate - an **equivalent-bet indifference test** at elicitation time, and **hit-rate scoring** against resolved outcomes - and emits a **calibration scorecard**. The durable move is not asking "how sure are you?" again. It is converting that question into a concrete…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills/think-interval-calibration-check@sha256:a3293d2bca639fac

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
