How this page works (quick guide) :

• Personas (15 min) — Pick a role (e.g., Research Librarian, Reviewer-2). It frames the model’s stance, success metrics, and constraints so replies stay relevant and testable.
• Brainstorm (optional, 8–10 min) — Diverge → cluster → rank ideas. Exit with one clear claim/question to test.

Socratic Loop (20 min)

• Elenchus — Kill vagueness fast: define key terms, list 3 testable assumptions (what evidence would satisfy each), and surface counterexamples/circularity.
• Aporia — Convert confusion into measurements: turn unknowns into indicator + feasible source; record any KNOWNs with quotes + locators.
• Dialectic — Compare 3 rival explanations, each with predictions, best evidence, and a weakness. Rank them and note what would change your mind.
• Maieutics — Produce a ≤180-word decision brief and a 5-step next action with a verification check; self-critique, then revise once.

Discussion (share & decide)

• Present your brief and next step, compare predictions, surface blockers, and log the decision.
• Always: allow NA, cite with quotes + locators, and stick to the timebox.

Socratic Loop (E→A→D→M)

Purpose. Turn a vague idea into a decision-useful, source-backed output in one timed pass.

Loop. Elenchus → Aporia → Dialectic → Maieutics.

Timer. Pick 10 min (E2–A2–D4–M2) or 25 min (E6–A6–D8–M5).

Before you start (copy/paste)

Task:[ ]  Audience:[ ]  Timebox:[10/25]
Goal:[ ]  Constraints:[scope/data/style]
Success:[measurable outcome]
Rules: Allow NA; never fabricate; include verbatim quotes+locators for any cited fact; prefer structured outputs; add confidence {low|med|high}.
