Four instruments for Method Analysis, devised in relation to Economic Theory are herewith briefly commented upon: 1) the interpretation-list method, which allows us to define the range of theoretical exercises practically without any formalization requirements; 2) confidence relations which constitute, together with probability relations, approximation comparisons (to truth); 3) some simple ideas on the structure of issues, questions and problems that try to answer or to solve theoretic-economic results; and 4) a simple procedure to define meta-confidence comparisons.
