Supply Chain Basics develops evaluating emerging claims and communicating uncertainty. How products get from A to B.
Check the claim and its source
Separate a specific factual claim from interpretation or prediction. Record who made it, when, what evidence they provide, and whether the evidence is primary, independently checked, or promotional.
Compare context
Look for independent sources, methods, sample limits, and relevant counter-evidence. Distinguish a prototype, pilot, and established practice; a recent headline alone does not show broad adoption or lasting impact.
Make a cautious recommendation
Explain what is known, what remains uncertain, and which conditions matter to the audience. Suggest a reversible, proportionate test when useful, then define what evidence would justify changing the recommendation.
Practice plan
