AB We propose a formal approach to the problem of transforming uncertainty into risk viainformation revelation processes. Abstractions and formalizations regarding informationacquisition processes are common in different areas of information sciences. We investigate the relationships between the way information is acquired and the continuity properties of revelation processes. A class of revelation processes whose continuity ischaracterized by how information is transmitted is introduced. This allows us to providenormative results regarding the continuity of the information acquisition processes of decision makers (DMs) and their ability to formulate probabilistic predictions within a givenconfidence range.
