• Question contains competing Beliefs.
• Belief is supported or weakened by Evidence.
• Belief depends on Assumptions.

        -> Evidence
        -> Assumption
        -> Alternative
        -> Confidence

Key Principle

Clarity stores beliefs, not notes.

Notes, documents, emails, reports, and observations become evidence attached to beliefs.

This model emerged from research practice but does not validate the research theory.
