What it is epistemic status?
What I am currently including in my Epistemic status ?
Certainty
What I believe can be different to what evidence is pointing to. I think making this explicit may explain a lot to a reader, bring clarity where I am going with this line of reasoning and be influencing their believes. Perhaps also use percentage points on some verbs “55%certain” when in need to specify certainty in more detail
Sometimes beliefs don’t go through a linear, empirical deduction process. Sometimes intuitive connections can be very valuable at arriving at unconventional findings or for starting new pathways of inquiry. However, they need to be flagged with confidence interval tags.
Evidence
What is the evidence? Where it comes from?
Effort
How much time or effort I spent on thinking or validating the claims.
Previous name: Epistemic effort
Antithesis
Doing something on the spot, even to train this muscle is very helpful See: Antithesis

How I can approach it differently
Just focus on percentages and do 70% certain
