SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Systematic framework for high-quality critical evaluation of strategic ideas, surfacing hidden assumptions, and guiding constructive improvements.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Steel-man first: articulate the strongest version of the idea before attacking it.
  • Surface assumptions: list implicit assumptions the idea depends on.
  • Failure mode analysis: perform pre-mortem style evaluation of potential failures.
  • Severity classification: rate issues by impact and likelihood.
  • Devil's advocate workflow: structure argumentation to test claims and alternatives.
  • Red Team Thinking references: apply adversarial thinking to security/resilience considerations.

Quick Start

Provide a claim and run the strategy-criticize framework to surface assumptions, challenge them, and generate actionable alternatives.

FAQPage Schema
How do I critique a strategic proposal to surface hidden assumptions?▼

To critique a strategic proposal, apply a structured framework that articulates the strongest version of the idea, surfaces implicit assumptions, and performs failure mode analysis to guide constructive improvements.

What is steel-man analysis in product strategy reviews?▼

Steel-man analysis in product strategy reviews involves articulating the strongest possible version of a proposed idea before attacking it, ensuring a rigorous and fair critical evaluation.

How do I run a pre-mortem failure mode analysis for decision gates?▼

Run a pre-mortem failure mode analysis for decision gates by evaluating potential failures, classifying issues by severity and likelihood, and formatting the findings into constructive feedback.

Can I use adversarial red team thinking for design critiques?▼

Yes, you can use red team thinking for design critiques by applying adversarial thinking to test claims, evaluate alternatives, and address security and resilience considerations within the strategy.

What is the best way to structure constructive feedback for risk assessments?▼

The best way to structure constructive feedback for risk assessments is to classify issues by severity and impact, then format the devil's advocate workflow outputs into actionable improvements.
