The Advocate

Argues against the decision you have already made

Cases

A case is your decision, argued against.

You have already decided. A case is the part most people skip: writing down what would have to be true for the decision to be wrong, before the answer arrives.

What you write

  • The decision, in your own words — a few sentences is enough.
  • A prediction: what you expect to be true by a given date.
  • A confidence figure from 0 to 100.
  • A check-in date, so the prediction cannot quietly expire.

What comes back

Objections, grouped by attack vector — the kind of failure each one describes, such as a cost you have not counted, a dependency you do not control, or a reversal that would be expensive. Each objection states the claim, why it bites, and what evidence would settle it.

The point is not to talk you out of the decision. It is to make the failure modes concrete enough that you would recognise one early.

What it costs

Free accounts spend credits — five to begin with, topped up on your signup anniversary. Advocate and Counsel come with a monthly case allowance that resets on your billing date, not on the first of the month.

Start with the free tier — no card, five credits to spend.
