Decision
Proceed to Phase 3 (data layer) with three explicit bias-correction measures from the premortem + bias-detect pass: (1) Treat the 500 BLOCK threshold, escalate confidence tracking by querying 24-month window instead of 12-month, and flag “proxy_uncertain” in UsageCostResult.tier_reason so AJ can adjudicate borderline cases.
Rationale
Reasoning chain established this session: add_thought #2 (confidence 0.95) captured Phase 1+2 empirical findings including the 2/6-tables-diverged scope remap and the 26k/$229 cost projections. premortem_analysis surfaced 5 failure categories (Execution, Assumption, People, External, Design); highest-risk for this project = Assumption (rate stability, connector mix, proxy accuracy) and External (Fivetran schema evolution, network policy changes). detect_biases flagged anchoring_bias (“first information” — sticking with scope § 15 thresholds just because they were the first ones seen) and overconfidence_bias (“certainly” — claiming first BLOCK will certainly fire on SAP). The three course-corrections in this decision counter those biases directly: (1) counters anchoring by forcing rate-freshness awareness (point-in-time vs assumed-constant), (2) counters SAP-focus anchoring by requiring cross-connector calibration, (3) counters proxy-accuracy overconfidence by adding a borderline-escalation mechanism. Engineering safeguards applied BEFORE Phase 3 code is written — cheaper than post-hoc fixes.
