Anchoring effectWhat would I think this offer was worth if I had not seen the first number?AnthropomorphismAm I reacting to fluent humanlike language instead of tested capability?Authority biasAre we evaluating the argument or the seniority of the person saying it?Automation biasWould I accept this answer if it came from an unknown junior colleague?Availability biasIs this common, or simply vivid and easy to remember?Bandwagon effectWould people make the same choice if they voted before hearing the room?Common source biasHow many independent sources are there behind these repeated versions?Confirmation biasDid I ask AI to test my view or mainly to make it sound stronger?Escalation of commitmentWould we fund the next step if the project arrived today with no history?Framing effectWould I value the same deal differently if it were framed as a gain instead of a loss?Hindsight biasWhat did we actually predict before the outcome was known?Illusory truth effectHave I verified this claim, or just seen it many times?Loss aversionAm I rejecting a useful trade because the concession feels more painful than the gain feels valuable?Outcome biasAm I copying someone's career because it worked, without checking the process and luck?Planning fallacyWhat happened to people who made a similar transition, not just in my ideal plan?Pro-innovation biasWhich costs, failure modes or adoption barriers are missing from the exciting story?Projection biasAm I treating my current mood as a forecast of my future preferences?Source confusionCan I still tell which claims came from me, the source material and the model?Sunk cost / escalation of commitmentIf I had not already invested years here, would I still choose the next year?Survivorship biasWhich failed projects are absent from the examples we are copying?
