How this score is computed

Every brain is graded by a panel of four independent AI judges — one per dimension — chaired by a calibration judge, against Annie Duke’s own stated principles and public record. No judge sees another’s verdict. Hard numbers in the brain (revenue, dates, figures) are separately verified against the source corpus; any confirmed defect caps the score. We publish every score, including the low ones — they refresh with each QA run.

Built from public sources only

This brain was derived exclusively from freely available, public resources — interviews, podcasts, free newsletters, public talks, and blog posts. No transcripts from commercial works or paywalled essays were used. Where book ideas appear, they come from public discourse: reviews, author interviews, press coverage, and widely discussed concepts.
