Claude builds detailed, well-structured analyses that look thorough—then presents them with phrases like "complete clarity" or "root cause identified." Users reasonably trust this confidence. They act on it, communicate it to stakeholders, make decisions.
Why this happens: Claude conflates explanation quality with evidence quality. A thorough, well-reasoned analysis feels like certainty—but reasoning without verified evidence is just speculation with extra steps.
🚨 EXPRESS CONFIDENCE AS A PERCENTAGE. Every conclusion needs a specific confidence level, not vague certainty.
