Some example points:

* How. The best determinant of low confidence is prioritization of how over what. Unless you are a lawyer let business requirements and performance metrics determine the end state. How to do it is ruled by people who fear uncertainty and lack the experience to qualify risk assessments.

* Uncertainty Avoidance. Uncertainty avoidance determines whether a group runs towards or away from risk. This is not a measure of solution attainment but just a measure of openly considering direction.

* Openness. Openness determines the level of transparency and results in perceptions of trust and low corruption. Low internal openness is highly associated with infighting and CYA.
