# Keep unknown priority inputs as ranges

Illustrative planning brief; no automatic product import.

Synthetic planning case: A has six confirmed local preference points. B’s incomplete evidence supports only a proposed range of four to nine points. Other eligibility and effort conditions are equal in the toy comparison.

## Decision

The available inputs do not establish a single ranking: B can be below or above A within the supplied range. Keep the unknown evidence visible instead of entering zero.

## Owned work

- Record the missing evidence
  - Owner role: Evaluation owner
  - Acceptance evidence: B’s point estimate is unresolved, with the proposed bounds and their basis labelled.
- Inspect the possible ordering
  - Owner role: Planner
  - Acceptance evidence: Both below-A and above-A scenarios remain possible under the supplied range.
- Choose an evidence or policy decision
  - Owner role: Decision owner
  - Acceptance evidence: Gather the missing input or explicitly adopt a conservative policy; do not imply the uncertainty vanished.

## Workflow

1. Record the missing evidence. Check: B’s point estimate is unresolved, with the proposed bounds and their basis labelled.
2. Inspect the possible ordering. Check: Both below-A and above-A scenarios remain possible under the supplied range.
3. Choose an evidence or policy decision. Check: Gather the missing input or explicitly adopt a conservative policy; do not imply the uncertainty vanished.

## Judgment

Scenario bounds can themselves be unsupported. Preserve their source and avoid a probability or real-value claim.


## Filled manual planning note

The available inputs do not establish a single ranking: B can be below or above A within the supplied range. Keep the unknown evidence visible instead of entering zero. Four is less than six and nine is greater than six. Because B’s proposed range crosses A’s value, no fixed winner follows from these inputs alone. Scenario bounds can themselves be unsupported. Preserve their source and avoid a probability or real-value claim.


## Workflow questions

### Why not set B’s unknown input to zero?

Zero would assert a value that the supplied evidence does not establish.

### Is the four-to-nine range a confidence interval?

No. It is a proposed scenario range without a calibrated probability model.

## Product connection

Use the owned checks and downloaded brief to discuss this planning decision alongside your TeamBoostAI tasks. Confirm available fields, roles and account features separately. The example is manual; it does not calculate live analytics, create work or run an experiment in the product.

Confirm account availability before adopting this manual outline.

### Inspect the invented case records

Option | Available point evidence | Relative to six
--- | --- | ---
A | 6 supplied points | Reference
B lower scenario | 4 proposed points | Below A
B upper scenario | 9 proposed points | Above A

### Reasoning

Four is less than six and nine is greater than six. Because B’s proposed range crosses A’s value, no fixed winner follows from these inputs alone.

### Bounded result

The available inputs do not establish a single ranking: B can be below or above A within the supplied range. Keep the unknown evidence visible instead of entering zero.

### Distinct decision

The artifact checks whether missing scoring evidence can change the ranking, rather than inventing a default.

### Limits

Scenario bounds can themselves be unsupported. Preserve their source and avoid a probability or real-value claim.
