Before You Commit to a Judgment, Consider the Opposite
When a judgment matters and you already feel convinced, deliberately generate a plausible explanation, evidence pattern, or outcome that would point the other way. Use it as a bias check, not as a rule to distrust every conclusion.
Portable instruction
What the agent should do
Write your current conclusion in one sentence. Then ask: what evidence, mechanism, or alternative explanation could make the opposite conclusion reasonable? Generate a concrete alternative rather than telling yourself to be objective. Check whether your decision would change if that alternative were true. Use this on decisions where biased assimilation or one-sided hypothesis testing is a real risk; do not turn it into endless doubt about routine choices.
Check-in
What plausible disconfirming case did I generate, and did it reveal a missing fact, a weak assumption, or no meaningful reason to change course?
