CFAR's Double Crux helps people resolve disagreements by identifying a shared underlying belief (the crux) whose change would alter the conclusion. This technique surfaces the real point of contention rather than debating surface claims.
Enter a disagreement topic and walk through identifying cruxes, testing their influence, and iterating until you reach verifiable claims.

The double crux technique resolves disagreements by identifying a shared underlying belief whose change would alter both parties' conclusions, surfacing the real point of contention instead of debating surface claims.
To find the crux in a structured debate, map the belief structure of both positions, test which underlying beliefs influence the conclusion, and iterate until you reach a verifiable claim that shifts the outcome.
Yes, you can prepare for a disagreement by mapping belief structures and operationalizing key claims in advance to identify likely cruxes, ensuring the live conversation focuses on verifiable beliefs.
The best way to facilitate structured discussion when beliefs differ is to use a repeatable process for crux discovery, testing each belief's influence on the conclusion until both sides converge on the actual point of contention.
Yes, you can walk through the double crux technique on a practice topic to build disagreement resolution skills, allowing you to test cruxes and iterate safely before applying it to live conversations.
A crux-based approach to resolving disagreements is less suitable when beliefs are based on fundamentally different values rather than factual claims, because it relies on identifying verifiable beliefs that could change the conclusion.
