The Zen of PreliZ

• Being open source, community-driven, diverse and inclusive.
• Avoid fully-automated solutions, keep the human in the loop.
• Separate tasks between humans and computers, so users can retain control of important decisions while numerically demanding, error-prone or tedious tasks are automatized.
• Prevent users to become overconfident in their own opinions.
• Easily integrate with other tools.
• Allow predictive elicitation.
• Having a simple and intuitive interface suitable for non-specialists in order to minimize cognitive biases and heuristics.
• Switching between different types of visualization such as kernel density estimates plots, quantile dotplots, histograms, etc.
• Being agnostic of the underlying probabilistic programming language.
• Being modular.
