Bias Detection Checklist

This MicroSim provides an interactive checklist for evaluating quantum computing claims against common cognitive biases. Each item targets a specific bias pattern that frequently appears in press releases, investor pitches, and technology forecasts.

Click each statement to indicate whether the red flag is present (or the protective factor is absent) in the claim you are evaluating. The Bias Risk Score meter on the right updates in real time to show the overall risk level. A score of 0-2 (green) suggests low bias risk, 3-5 (yellow) indicates moderate risk warranting further scrutiny, and 6-8 (red) signals high risk that the claim may be driven more by cognitive bias than by evidence.

How to Use This Tool

  1. Find a quantum computing press release, investor pitch, or news article.
  2. Read through the claim carefully.
  3. Click each checklist item that applies to what you read.
  4. Review the Bias Risk Score to gauge the overall credibility of the claim.
  5. Use the Reset button to clear all selections and evaluate another claim.
