  "title": "Name the noise before choosing the fix",
  "summary": "Not all inconsistency comes from the same place.",
  "kind": "concept",
  "body": "Separate three possibilities. Level noise: reviewers are systematically harsher or more lenient overall. Pattern noise: reviewers react differently to particular case features. Occasion noise: the same reviewer changes with time, context or random variation. Diagnose which pattern dominates before choosing calibration, rubric, aggregation or workflow changes.",
  "limits": [
    "Real systems often mix all three noise forms, and some variation may represent legitimate perspective differences."

    "A review process is inconsistent and the team proposes one generic remedy."

    "Real systems often mix all three noise forms, and some variation may represent legitimate perspective differences."

  "example": "Two consultants may agree on average severity but disagree sharply whenever data loss is involved; that is different from one consultant rating everything higher.",
  "check": "The proposed process change targets an observed form of variability rather than the word 'noise' in general.",
