It describes how much proof — how many examples, data points, or repeated exposures — a person needs before they genuinely believe and act on something.

If they keep circling back to the same proposal meeting after meeting, asking for more data, more case studies, or more time, they are extensive-evidence — and no single great slide will close them."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Isn't it manipulative to tailor how much proof I give someone?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"No — it is respect, not manipulation. You are not changing the truth of what you are saying; you are changing how much of the truth you show, and in what order, so the other person can actually absorb it. Manipulation hides information.
