Bayesian method in The Signal is public bookkeeping for judgment, not a machine that replaces it. I let AI systems do much of the weighting work and judge how much each argument actually pressed inside the model, but not blindly: I reviewed, challenged, corrected, and published the result. I do not agree with every public weight; some red rows are rows I think should be green on deeper inspection. Each evidence row still asks how expected a clue is under one hypothesis compared with serious rivals, while uncertainty bands, dependency caps, and defeater checks keep the map auditable and open to correction.
