Use it when

A short review before a large conclusion.

Five lenses

Questions worth asking before you commit.

LensBandwagon effect

Would people make the same choice if they voted before hearing the room?

Open →
LensAuthority bias

Are we evaluating the argument or the seniority of the person saying it?

Open →
LensConfirmation bias

Which evidence would make the team stop or change direction?

Open →
LensOutcome bias

Are we reviewing the quality of the decision process, not only the result?

Open →
LensHindsight bias

What did we actually predict before the outcome was known?

10-minute workflow

Turn awareness into an action.

1. Collect independent views before open discussion.
2. Write the decision criteria where everyone can see them.
3. Assign one person to present the strongest case against the current favourite.
4. Record uncertainty and what would change the decision.
5. Review the original reasoning after the outcome, not a reconstructed memory of it.

Use with AI

Ask the model to challenge the frame, not decorate it.

Prompt: “Review this decision without choosing for me. Restate my criteria, show the strongest case against my preferred option, identify missing evidence, flag possible anchors or sunk costs, and finish with the smallest next test that would reduce uncertainty.”

The goal is not forced disagreement. It is to make assumptions, alternatives and evidence visible before the recommendation feels inevitable.
