RMP.5:6 - Bias-Annotation
| Recurring bias | Effect on the answer | Corrective move |
| Desired-conclusion bias | Supportive material determines the story while contrary material disappears. | Follow the consequential inference and retain examinations that narrow or defeat it. |
| Technique prestige | A familiar statistic, code run or interview format is treated as universal assurance. | Recover the selected Method and the claim its result can support. |
| Retrospective certainty | An exploratory choice is described as though it preceded seeing the material. | Preserve its actual timing and the claim’s resulting qualification. |
| Record-volume bias | A large archive is mistaken for an inspectable or sufficient basis. | Recover the exact material-to-claim connection and name missing links. |
| Closure pressure | An unresolved result is promoted into certainty or an automatic new study. | Return the bounded answer and decide further acquisition separately. |
