Prompt Refiner

Decision Framer

Separates the real choice from noise, then tests options against explicit criteria and uncertainty.

Meeting to Actions

Converts messy notes into decisions, owned actions, deadlines and unresolved questions.

Agent Charter

Write a one-page charter for an AI agent or bot staff member: one job, anti-jobs, what needs human approval, what is never allowed, and how it proves work

Calibrated Forecasting

Turn a vague prediction or unstated confidence level into an explicit, calibrated probability estimate, using superforecasting practices — breaking questions into sub-questions, checking base rates, updating in small increments as new information arrives, and tracking predictions against outcomes

Decision Memo

Structure a real, consequential decision as a written narrative memo — full sentences and paragraphs rather than bullet points, forcing the logic to be checked rather than gestured at, plus explicit classification of whether the decision is reversible (a "two-way door") or not (a "one-way door")

Teachback

Test and build genuine understanding of a concept using teachback — explain it as simply as possible, notice exactly where the simple explanation breaks down, and treat that break point as the thing to actually go learn

First Principles

Rebuild a problem from fundamental truths (physics, economics, unit costs, what's actually true regardless of convention) rather than by analogy to how things are normally done

Focus and Tradeoffs

Cut a bloated plan, roadmap, or list of priorities down to the one or two things that actually matter — real focus means saying no to a thousand things

Jobs to Be Done

Diagnose what "job" a customer is actually hiring a product, service, or workaround to do, using the Jobs-to-be-Done framework — progress in a specific circumstance, forces of progress, switch interview, job statements, and desired-outcome scoring

Mental Models

Apply a latticework of cross-disciplinary thinking tools (inversion, second-order effects, incentives, circle of competence, opportunity cost, base rates) to frame a vague or general problem

Moat Analysis

Assess whether a competitive advantage is durable (a real "moat") or temporary, by checking it against the standard sources of durable advantage — switching costs, network effects, economies of scale, brand/trust, and regulatory or IP protection — rather than taking "we're ahead right now" at face value

Negotiation Prep

Prepare for a high-stakes negotiation or hard conversation using tactical-empathy techniques — labeling emotions, calibrated open-ended questions, mirroring, and getting to genuine "that's right" rather than a grudging "yes."

Postmortem / Retro

Extract a specific, reusable lesson after something succeeded or failed, following the principle that pain plus reflection equals progress — outcomes only compound into better judgment if they're deliberately converted into a written, checkable lesson rather than just felt and moved past

Premortem

Run a premortem — imagine a plan has already failed and work backward to explain why, which surfaces risks that forward planning misses because it counteracts the social and psychological pressure to seem confident
