What problem does it solve?
Devil's advocate guidance for rigorous critique of any document, proposal, or analysis, forcing explicit consideration of missing justifications, blind spots, and risks. The approach uses a two-phase review: Phase 1 generates divergent, hostile questions; Phase 2 evaluates responses and assigns a structured verdict and score to drive improvements.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Enforces a two-phase review workflow: divergent questioning followed by evaluative scoring.
- Generates phase-1 questions to surface gaps, inconsistencies, and edge cases.
- Produces phase-2 scores across divergent coverage, grounding in sensitive areas, and antipatterns to guide mitigation.
- Useful for gatekeeping reviews, audits, briefs, designs, and strategic proposals in research, product, and policy contexts.
Quick Start
Provide a critical review of the input document, applying the 10th-man divergent gate approach to surface missing considerations and risks.
