analogy-structure-mapping

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents invalid conclusions by distinguishing genuine structural correspondence from superficial similarity when comparing two situations.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Two-situation structural extraction: Separately identify actors, relationships, dynamics, constraints, and goals in Situation A and Situation B before comparing.
• Element-by-element mapping with validity checks: Pair structural elements across situations and classify each mapped pair as genuine or superficial.
• Break-point analysis for prediction quality: Identify where the analogy breaks and separate what the analogy can reliably predict from what it cannot.
• Use case: When deciding whether a business, negotiation, or policy outcome is likely to replicate across contexts, map the underlying mechanisms rather than relying on surface resemblance.

Quick Start

Use the analogy-structure-mapping skill to compare Situation A and Situation B and get a structured mapping of where the analogy is genuinely valid versus where it breaks.
