AI Traccuracy Software
Alethic Innovations has developed software, called “AI Traccuracy”, to help track and improve the accuracy of human judgment—whether it be judgments from doctors, juries or other groups. The software utilizes machine learning techniques to provide assessments of the accuracy of such judgments and to enhance their accuracy. This is useful for assessing which judgments should be trusted in decision-making, as well as for improving the trustworthiness of such judgments.
The science behind it
Traccuracy employs algorithms that were trained and tested on literally thousands of real judgments from hundreds of individuals. As such, the algorithms employ techniques that have been scientifically cross-validated.

Training
Alethic Innovations offers training in content that science shows improves or correlates with accuracy. The training is online, interactive and implements techniques that science has shown helps individuals retain and apply content.
The science behind it
The training itself is based on literally dozens of scientific articles and findings about what improves or correlates with accuracy in real-world contexts.
As such, individuals can have confidence that the training they receive is grounded in scientific evidence.
Analytic Assessments
Alethic Innovations offers analytic assessments spanning a diversity of topics, ranging from projected policy outcomes to trend summaries. Such assessments aim to provide useful information for clients, especially when making decisions about important topics.
The science behind it
Where possible, the assessments incorporate evidence-based principles to maximize assessment accuracy, drawing on literature across the sciences and other fields.
This is important, since research often shows various ways to maximize accuracy are useful but unobvious to humans.
Presentations
Dr. John Wilcox has presented to audiences as diverse as officials in top-ranking government departments to lecture theaters at Stanford University. Those he has presented to include officials from the United States' Office of the Director of National Intelligence, New Zealand's Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet and many other organizations.
The science behind it
In recent years, most of John’s presentations have focused on the science of what improves human judgment, as well as closely related areas.
Scientific Research and Development
Dr. John Wilcox has collaborated with organizations—ranging from government-affiliated research labs to non-profits—to scientifically develop or test interventions to improve human judgment and decision-making.
The science behind it
Alethic Innovations aims to draw on, and implement, scientific best-practices, capitalizing on Dr. John Wilcox’s experience, his training at Stanford and emerging insights in the metascience community which Dr. Wilcox is a member of.

Book: “Human Judgment”
The founder of Alethic Innovations, Dr. John Wilcox, literally wrote the book on human judgment and how to improve it. Rather than describe it here, you can hear from the following testimonials instead:
“This is a great and educational read – we ALL make decisions every day of our lives. Wilcox is our expert guide on how each of us, and society at large, could do a better job with these, and improve our calibration in the process.”
- Mark Graber, MD, Founder of the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine
“John Wilcox’s book is a timely and lucid study of what it means to think rationally and why it’s important for our understanding of human minds.”
- Samuel Gershman, PhD, Professor of Psychology, Harvard University
"John Wilcox presents an accessible, insightful take on the questions that should captivate any social scientist.... A must-read for those interested in all disciplines, including those of us concerned with improving politics and policy.”
- Rachel George, PhD, Lecturing Fellow, Duke University
The science behind it
“Human Judgment” aims to distill insights about how accurate our judgments are and how to improve them, drawing on over 200 references from scientific and other sources.
