B.5.MPC:6 - Bias-Annotation
| Likely bias | Consequence for this work | Corrective action |
|---|---|---|
| Familiar equations dominate the physical account | The practitioner begins with a calculable proxy and loses the requested quantity. | Name two physical cases that require different answers and determine whether the proposed variables distinguish them. |
| Successful computation dominates interpretation | A number or certificate is accepted without its meaning in the physical arrangement. | Interpret the decisive count, edge or token transfer and recover the premise connecting it to the receiving action. |
| Diagram familiarity hides physical assumptions | A graph edge is treated as a real contact, or its meaning changes across an example. | Construct the contact or interaction list from the subject account and label the relation that each edge represents. |
| Digital implementation is treated as the default | Material or manual realizations are overlooked even when they answer the question. | Compare their input preparation, permitted operations and result interpretation with the computational need. |
| A precise answer hides an uncertain premise | Small numerical error is reported while model or measurement uncertainty can dominate the result. | Carry the uncertain physical premise into the returned consequence or obtain the measurement that can settle it. |
| Contributor identity substitutes for usable grounds | An expert or AI report is trusted beyond what its stated assumptions and explanation support. | Recover the connection consumed by this use and obtain the missing explanation or evidence from a capable contributor. |
These biases can affect one person as well as a team. Apply the correction at the missing subject operation, correspondence or observation.
