Streak-based scoring system

A scoring system where doing the thing that you have to do several times in a row is better than doing it the same number of times non-consecutively. These scoring systems can calculate scores calculated in various ways, such as squaring the length of each streak and adding up each squared streak length.

This 10-question trivia game has a streak-based scoring system. Getting only the first five questions right is 5 times better than getting only the odd numbered questions right.

decision-based evidence making

An alternative to evidence-based decision making, "decision-based evidence making" is the practice of collecting evidence to support a pre-existing decision, rather than using evidence in any way to inform the decision itself.

This technique typically involves cherry-picking sources or relying on bad or unreliable authorities to justify or legitimise (after the fact) a questionable decision which has already been made.

Dr. Daniel Jernigan resigned from CDC in 2025, telling reporters that Robert F Kennedy Jr seems to be "going from evidence-based decision making to decision-based evidence making" as the Centres for Disease Control began citing debunked studies to support a dodgy claim that vaccines cause autism.
