How Confidence Evolves Over Time

Understanding how credibility assessments change as evidence accumulates and context evolves.

📈

What is Credibility?

The ability to believe something—a dynamic measure that increases as more evidence accumulates and evolves over time.

🔬

Evidence Accumulation

As more evidence is gathered, credibility increases and evolves over time.

High Credibility

Credibility Evolution Stages

1

Initial Upload / Limited Evidence

Newly uploaded content with minimal supporting evidence. High uncertainty means credibility assessments are tentative and easily changed.

High sensitivity to new evidence
2

Evidence Accumulation

As more evidence is gathered (user feedback, expert reviews, verification), credibility becomes more stable. Uncertainty decreases moderately.

Credibility responds to evidence patterns
3

Established Credibility

With substantial evidence from multiple sources, credibility assessments become robust. New evidence has diminishing marginal impact on overall credibility.

Stable, evidence-backed confidence

Factors Influencing Credibility Evolution

📊

Evidence Quality

Higher quality evidence has greater impact on credibility evolution

⏱️

Time Horizon

Longer observation periods allow more comprehensive evidence gathering

🔄

Source Consistency

Consistent evidence from diverse sources accelerates credibility growth

🔍

Verification Rate

How quickly claims can be independently verified affects evolution speed
