To build a counter-case against a decision, extract pre-mortem risks, low-confidence assumptions, and reference-class data from your decision artifact. Structure the findings into opening, core arguments, alternatives, and conclusion to surface critical risks.

Evidence-based decision analysis stress-tests proposals by extracting gathered evidence to construct a rigorous counter-case. It surfaces hidden risks and alternative perspectives during internal reviews, objections preparation, or external evaluation.

Prepare for objections in decision governance by ranking concerns by severity extracted from the decision artifact. Structure these concerns into a coherent counter-case narrative featuring opening, core arguments, alternatives, and conclusion.

Yes, you can surface unknown-unknowns and alternative considerations by applying counter-case analysis to the decision artifact. It extracts pre-mortem risks and reference-class data to validate or challenge the proposal.

Use counter-case analysis during internal stress-testing, objections preparation, or external evaluation when you need to actively challenge a proposal. Standard risk-management identifies threats, while this approach rigorously structures arguments against the decision.

The best way to structure a counter-case document for decision support is to rank concerns by severity and organize them into opening, core arguments, alternatives, and conclusion, outputting a concise, publishable document.
