Credible Claims and Safe Authority Skill

Purpose

Use authority, numbers, and institutional credibility without exaggerating or creating legal, ethical, or reputational risk.

Claim Safety Ladder

From safest to riskiest:

  1. Direct factual claim
    • "Built and deployed X."
  2. Quantified but bounded claim
    • "Surfaced 770 addressable hours."
  3. Shared-outcome claim
    • "Helped the team maintain velocity."
  4. Inference claim
    • "This suggests a higher-leverage roadmap."
  5. Borrowed authority claim
    • "Adapted from public guidance by X."
  6. Endorsement-like claim
    • "X recommends this." Only use if explicitly true.

Use Careful Language For

Addressable Opportunity vs Guaranteed Savings

Say:

surfaced 770 addressable hours

Avoid:

saved 770 hours

unless the hours were actually saved.

Team Outcomes

Say:

helped maintain team velocity

Avoid:

single-handedly maintained team velocity

unless that is provably true.

Institutional Authority

Say:

at a World Economic Forum-recognized AI scale-up

Avoid:

World Economic Forum-backed

unless backed is accurate.

Inspired by Credible People

Say:

adapted from practices learned from a senior engineering lead

Avoid:

Google's official method

unless it is official.

Quote Usage

When using quotes:

  • Keep excerpts short.
  • Use brackets [...] to omit irrelevant parts.
  • Preserve meaning.
  • Attribute clearly.
  • Do not make a quote sound broader than it is.

Checklist

  • Is every number explainable?
  • Could a former colleague agree the claim is fair?
  • Is borrowed authority framed as origin/context, not endorsement?
  • Are "helped," "solo-built," and "led" used precisely?
  • Does the claim stay impressive without becoming misleading?
