A Google Docs™ add-on for systematic IPCC-style uncertainty communication in policy documents
Get the Add-onSelect text in your document, then rate evidence quality (limited/medium/robust), agreement level (low/medium/high), and overall confidence
Numbered markers are automatically inserted at each assessed claim, linking directly to the evidence appendix
Auto-generated, formatted appendix with all assessments, color-coded by confidence level from very low to very high
Non-blocking guidance when your confidence rating diverges from what the evidence and agreement levels would suggest
View, edit, delete, and jump to any assessment from a centralized management dialog
Save your assessments as CSV or JSON to Google Drive™ for further analysis or record-keeping
Select text in your Google Doc that contains a claim you want to assess
Evaluate evidence quality, agreement level, and assign an overall confidence rating
A superscript marker is added to the claim, and the assessment is stored in the document
Create a formatted evidence appendix with all assessments, color-coded by confidence
