Bias spotter checklist

Help teams quickly surface cognitive biases before making communication decisions. Whether those are micro decisions that happen in conversations, and in passing - to those that take center stage in campaigns, investments, proving the impact of PR & Comms efforts and more.

Our recommendation is to download, print, and memorize as many as you can. Then, when you start to notice more biases in real-time, please don't be shy. We ask if you would reach out to us to tell your story?

We'll supply the coffee ☕︎ and would love to interview you for our ongoing studies on spotting bias in the communications world.
