Generate breadth, explore possibilities

Generate multiple distinct interpretations. Explore the full problem space before narrowing.

Extract underlying structure/principle

Extract the underlying principle or structural pattern. Generalize from specifics.

Select optimal under constraints

Apply elimination criteria to narrow alternatives. Select the optimal option under stated constraints and justify.

Reason about the reasoning

Examine the reasoning itself. Surface hidden assumptions, rate confidence, identify blind spots.

Impose analytical lens

Impose a specific analytical lens on the problem. Reframe to reveal hidden insights.

Map to similar domain

Map this problem to a structurally similar domain to import solutions and insights.

What-if variable changes

Perform what-if analysis. Remove, change, or add key variables to test causal dependencies.

Identify driving mechanism

Identify the mechanism driving the outcome. Trace the causal chain. Distinguish root cause from proximate cause.

Optimize within boundaries

Find the best outcome within explicitly defined boundaries. State what is being optimized and what constraints must hold.

Confidence & uncertainty drivers

Estimate and communicate confidence levels. Identify the top drivers of uncertainty. Distinguish what is known from what is believed from what is guessed.

System ↔ component levels

Navigate between system-level and component-level views. Start with the macro pattern, then drill into critical details.

Short vs long term

Separate short-term from long-term effects. Analyze timing dependencies. Distinguish immediate effect from equilibrium state.

Attack own conclusion

Attack the conclusion. Find the strongest argument against it. Red-team the analysis. Steel-man the opposing position.

Feedback loops, emergence

Identify feedback loops in this system. Map reinforcing and balancing dynamics. Surface second-order effects and emergent behaviours.

Evidence-weighted updating

Update assessment based on evidence strength. Weight each source by reliability and recency. Consider base rates.
