System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Steelmanning helps ensure recommendations aren't biased by quickly dismissing opposing viewpoints, leading to more reliable decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured steelman workflow: state current recommendation, identify strongest opposing position, build the steelman, evaluate weaknesses, and articulate residual tension.
  • Decision quality for high-stakes scenarios: useful in product, engineering, and strategy decisions where long-term impact matters.
  • Risk mitigation and transparency: creates a credible rationale by testing assumptions against the best counterarguments.

Quick Start

Provide your current recommendation and have the system generate the strongest opposing argument to test it.
