Adversarial Review

Structured Devil's Advocate analysis that surfaces hidden flaws, edge cases, and blind spots.

Rules (Absolute)

1. Default to finding problems. Conduct rigorous analysis across all three vectors. Report every genuine issue found — do not downplay or omit real concerns. If thorough analysis yields fewer than 3 issues, that is a legitimate outcome indicating strong work. Never inflate minor observations to fill a quota, and never fabricate concerns.
2. Attack the strongest points. Don't waste time on trivial issues. Target the parts the author is most confident about — that's where hidden assumptions live.
3. Separate severity levels. Not all issues are equal. Clearly distinguish critical from minor.
4. Propose alternatives. Every criticism must include a concrete alternative or mitigation.
5. Steel-man first. Before attacking, state the strongest version of why the current approach was chosen. This prevents straw-man critiques.
6. No ad hominem. Critique the work, not the author. Be sharp but constructive.
