Overview

Cognitive Dependability Score (CDS) measures the reliability of the speaker's cognitive processes, factoring in their awareness and virtuosity. It assesses how well the speaker stays relevant to the topic, follows the debate objectives, and demonstrates intellectual virtues like honesty and open-mindedness. A higher CDS indicates a more dependable and trustworthy reasoning process.

Applications

Coders calculate CDS by aggregating scores for relevancy aspects and intellectual virtues, integrating it into the Critical Thinking Scores (CTS) for comprehensive analysis.

2) User's Perspective

Users can see the CDS to assess the speaker's consistency and reliability in staying on-topic and exhibiting intellectual virtues, informing their trust in the speaker's arguments.
