Use when setting product North Star metrics, decomposing high-level business metrics into actionable sub-metrics and leading indicators, mapping strategy to measurable outcomes, identifying which metrics to mov...
Use when stakeholders have conflicting priorities and need alignment, suspect decision blind spots from single perspective, need to pressure-test proposals before presenting, want empathy for different viewpoin...
Use when testing ideas cheaply before building (pretotyping with fake doors, concierge MVPs, paper prototypes) to validate desirability/feasibility, choosing appropriate prototype fidelity (paper/clickable/code...
Use when synthesizing information from multiple sources (literature review, stakeholder feedback, research findings, data from different systems), creating or evaluating analogies for explanation or problem-sol...
Use when making predictions or judgments under uncertainty and need to explicitly update beliefs with new evidence. Invoke when forecasting outcomes, evaluating probabilities, testing hypotheses, calibrating co...
Use when making quick order-of-magnitude estimates under uncertainty (market sizing, resource planning, feasibility checks), decomposing complex quantities into estimable parts, bounding unknowns with upper/low...
Use when the user has a document (PDF, markdown, book notes, research paper, methodology guide) containing theoretical knowledge or frameworks and wants to convert it into an actionable, reusable skill. Invoke...
Use when testing plans or decisions for blind spots, need adversarial review before launch, validating strategy against worst-case scenarios, building consensus through structured debate, identifying attack vec...
