Use when you need to rigorously vet ideas, plans, or proposals by surfacing assumptions, testing evidence, and identifying blind spots before committing to a course of action.

A pre-mortem is a structured reasoning technique that assumes a plan has failed, working backward to identify blind spots and failure modes. Use it before committing to technical, product, or strategy decisions to surface hidden assumptions and test evidence quality.
Stress-test a product proposal by applying structured critical reasoning across multiple modes, including red team adversarial analysis and devil's advocate challenges. This process surfaces assumptions and delivers a steelmanned thesis, strongest challenges, a synthesis, and actionable next steps with risk mitigations.
Yes, Socratic questioning and dialectic synthesis are applicable to technical, product, business, and strategy decisions. These modes guide reference-based analysis to challenge evidence quality, surface underlying assumptions, and synthesize opposing viewpoints into a cohesive action plan.
The best way to audit evidence quality is to run an evidence audit mode that evaluates the strength of supporting data within your proposal. This structured reasoning approach identifies logical gaps and weak assumptions, producing concrete next steps and risk mitigations.
Yes, this approach works without external dependencies by loading inline references to guide mode-specific analysis. It independently executes Socratic questioning, red team, pre-mortem, and evidence audit modes to generate a synthesis and actionable risk mitigations.
Avoid using a devil's advocate approach when a decision requires immediate execution without time for structured critical reasoning, or when the proposal lacks sufficient detail to construct a steelmanned thesis and surface meaningful failure modes.
