What problem does it solve?
Sunk-cost thinking keeps people trapped in projects, relationships, and endeavors they already know are failing by confusing past investment with what should determine the next step.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Reframes the “fallacy” as lived grief: Treats the attachment as real, located in the self that was being built through the investment rather than in the investment itself.
- Builds felt understanding from multiple wisdom traditions: Uses cross-cultural concepts (e.g., fanāʾ, hevel, mono no aware) to translate the emotional weight of letting go into language people can recognize inside themselves.
- Provides situation-based tests and failure modes: Diagnoses hollowness in answers that only label biases, and verifies whether an explanation actually matches the lived experience.
Quick Start
Use the sunk-cost skill to help an AI explain why someone keeps going in a failing project or relationship despite knowing it should end.
