Epistemic Assurance
Epistemic assurance is the discipline of assessing whether the representations guiding institutional decisions remain governable by evidence across production, verification, correction, and use.
It addresses a general failure mode in which information can remain internally coherent, procedurally compliant, and operationally useful while becoming detached from the reality it claims to represent.
This page records one working usage of the term — the assessment of whether institutional representations remain governable by evidence — as a discipline name associated with the research programme at epistemicrisk.com.
