Selection Immunity - Selection Logic

Definition

Selection Immunity: The ability to resist manipulative signals and keep choices aligned with true needs.

Why it matters (T5)

In persuasion-heavy markets, immunity reduces the chance that manipulated cues override needs and weights.

Typical manipulation cues

• scarcity and urgency,
• authority endorsements,
• social proof,
• framing and anchoring.
