What problem does it solve?
The Decision Critic provides a structured, multi-step critique of a decision to uncover hidden assumptions, verify claims, and consider adversarial perspectives before committing to a course of action.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Decomposition and IDing: Breaks down decisions into claims, assumptions, constraints, and judgments with persistent IDs (C1, A1, K1, J1).
- Fact-based verification: Generates and answers verification questions to test veracity of each claim.
- Adversarial Challenge and Framing: Provides contrarian perspectives and alternative problem framing to surface risks and blind spots.
- Verdict synthesis: Produces a final verdict (STAND, REVISE, or ESCALATE) with actionable recommendations.
- Use Case: A product team deciding on a feature launch can run this workflow to ensure robust justification and risk awareness.
Quick Start
Use the decision-critic tool to critique a proposed approach, supply the decision text, constraints, and context, and follow the seven-step workflow to obtain a final verdict.
