Fraud Signal Filter

High Impact Pattern

Every win is attributed to timing, luck, or others. Every setback is evidence of your fundamental inadequacy. You're waiting to be 'found out' — but you're the only one who hasn't noticed you belong.

Success attributed to luck. Failure attributed to self.

Risk Analysis

Chronic underestimation of capability — compounding missed opportunities from self-selection out of high-stakes situations.
