// scenario SC-002
Encountering Misinformation
A confident claim spreads through your feed and matches something you already believe.
// the situation
What happens
A post makes a strong claim with no source. It is shared by someone you like, and it confirms an opinion you already hold.
Default reaction
Share it. Agreement feels like verification, and speed feels like relevance.

Recognize → Pause → Process → Respond → Evolve
- 01
Recognize
Notice the agreement reflex — the claim felt true before it was checked.
- 02
Pause
Hold the share for one minute. Urgency is part of how weak claims travel.
- 03
Process
Ask three questions: who benefits, where did the number come from, and what would change my mind?
- 04
Respond
Share the question rather than the claim, or say nothing at all. Silence is a valid output.
- 05
Evolve
Track claims you almost passed on. Pattern recognition improves faster than willpower.

Questions to sit with
- What was the last thing you shared without checking?
- Which topics make you least likely to verify?
- How would you want someone to correct you publicly?
“The claims hardest to check are the ones we already agree with.”
