  "summary": "An AI-generated estimate can become the starting point for judgement. The managerial question then concerns the order of consultation, not just the tool’s reliability.",

    {
      "heading": "What the literature establishes",
      "point": "Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman (1974, Science) describe anchoring: an initial value can influence a numerical estimate even when it does not provide relevant information."
    },
    {
      "heading": "The mechanism behind the first number",
      "point": "Fritz Strack and Thomas Mussweiler (1997, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology) provide evidence supporting a selective accessibility mechanism."
    },
    {
      "heading": "The premature conclusion",
      "point": "One might conclude that people should always produce their own estimate before consulting AI."
    },
    {
      "heading": "What the evidence cannot settle",
      "point": "The experiments cited concern numerical judgements in controlled settings, not collective planning in a Fribourg company."
    },
    {
      "heading": "A practical check in Fribourg",
      "point": "Within SHR’s “IA on the job” programme, a check could involve estimating processing times for completed, anonymised cases from Fribourg’s agri-food sector or bilingual industry, potentially seeking methodological support from the local university community."
