SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Run a rigorous adversarial review of an investment thesis to expose fragility, hidden assumptions, and actionable kill criteria before committing capital.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Steelman the opposing case and rank assumptions by fragility.
  • Define falsifiability checks and concrete evidence requirements.
  • Surface cognitive traps and bias in the write-up.

Quick Start

Paste your investment thesis and say "red-team this" to run the adversarial pre-mortem.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run an adversarial review of my investment thesis to identify hidden assumptions?

Run an adversarial review by pasting your investment thesis and stating assumptions to execute a structured red-team protocol, which ranks assumption fragility, applies falsifiability checks, and outputs actionable kill criteria.

What is a red-team framework for investment theses and how does it work?

A red-team framework for investment theses steelmans the opposing case to expose fragility, runs falsifiability checks on stated assumptions, scans for cognitive bias, and defines clear exit criteria before capital deployment.

How do I define kill criteria and falsifiability checks for an equity or credit thesis?

Define kill criteria by applying a formal red-team protocol that requires concrete evidence requirements and falsifiability checks, identifying specific triggers that invalidate the stated investment thesis across asset classes.

Can I use this adversarial pre-mortem process for private equity and venture capital theses?

Yes, the adversarial pre-mortem process applies to public equities, credit, private equity, venture capital, and allocators, ranking assumption fragility and surfacing cognitive traps across various investment contexts.

What is the best way to detect cognitive bias in an investment write-up before committing capital?

Detect cognitive bias in an investment write-up by running a structured red-team review that scans for cognitive traps, steelmans the opposing case, and exposes hidden fragility in your stated assumptions.

What inputs do I need to provide to run an investment thesis red-team analysis?

You need to provide an explicit investment thesis, clearly stated assumptions, and a formal protocol context to execute the adversarial review, which outputs fragility rankings, falsifiability checks, and kill criteria.
