Use when uncertainty must be updated after new evidence: start with a prior or base rate, estimate how strongly the evidence fits each hypothesis, update to a posterior, and decide what evidence would change the belief next. Covers priors, base rates, likelihood ratios, posterior odds, calibration, evidence independence, false positives in rare events, and base-rate neglect. Do NOT use for decomposing assumptions to primitives (use first-principles-thinking), tracing downstream consequences (use second-order-thinking), recurring issue clustering (use pattern-recognition), or formal source-to-claim citation (use epistemic-grounding).
