Disproven
What they assumed
— the belief as it was stated going in.
What we found
— the evidence that overturned it.
Case
They had a theory. Nobody had tested it.
— one line on the belief the whole strategy was resting on, and what it would cost to be wrong.

Method
The premise
An assumption everyone had agreed to stop questioning — which is exactly why it was worth testing.
A paragraph or two laying out the beliefs on the table: where they came from, why they felt safe, and what decisions were about to be built on top of them.
Close by naming the risk: acting on an untested belief isn’t confidence, it’s a guess wearing a suit. So we put each one on trial.
The test
Every assumption, put next to what the evidence actually said.
Confirmed
What they assumed
— a belief that turned out to be right.
What we found
— the evidence that backed it, now with proof behind it instead of instinct.
Sharpened
What they assumed
— roughly right, but blunt.
What we found
— the more precise version the data revealed, and the one worth acting on.
The verdict
— not the theory they walked in with, but the one they could actually build on.
3×
— what changed once the belief was replaced with evidence.
Your turn
Sitting on a belief you’ve never tested? Let’s put it on trial.
No lengthy brief required. If you know the assumption you’re betting on, that’s enough to start.
