Weight of Evidence Weight of evidence (WoE) is a phrase used to describe the type of consideration made in a situation where there is uncertainty, and which is used to ascertain whether the evidence or information supporting one side of a cause or argument is greater than that supporting the other side.
Evidence is one of the two basic ingredients of argument (the other is reasoning), and so a great deal of effort goes into ensuring its quality, and challenging the quality of evidence in arguments we disagree with. Assessing evidence can be divided into two main steps: 1  analyzing it, and. 2  evaluating it.
