Multi-Perspective Attack

A structured approach to attacking a decision from multiple distinct viewpoints simultaneously. Each perspective brings different values, concerns, and failure modes — ensuring blind spots from any single viewpoint are exposed.

Stages

1. Perspective Assignment — Define distinct perspectives with their values, concerns, and evaluation criteria
2. Perspective Attack — Each perspective independently attacks the decision and proposes alternatives
3. Steel-Manning Synthesis — Synthesize all attacks into a unified assessment with final verdict

Available SOPs

SOP	Phase	Purpose
perspective-assignment	Assign	Define perspective briefs
perspective-attack	Attack	Execute attack from each perspective
steel-manning-synthesis	Synthesize	Unify findings into verdict

Execution Guidance

• Minimum 3 distinct perspectives (more for high-stakes decisions)
• Perspectives must be genuinely different (not variations of same viewpoint)
• Each perspective attacks independently before synthesis
• Synthesis must address every attack, not just convenient ones
• Final verdict must account for all perspectives, with explicit trade-off reasoning

Minimum Yield

• = 3 perspective briefs with distinct values and concerns

• Independent attack from each perspective with constructive alternatives
• Synthesis across all attacks
• Final verdict (ACCEPT/REJECT/REVISE) with surviving concerns
• Recommended modifications addressing highest-severity cross-perspective concerns

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

SOP	When to use
perspective-assignment	Define distinct stakeholder or analytical perspectives with their values, concerns, and evaluation criteria.
perspective-attack	Attack a decision from a specific assigned perspective, producing rated arguments and constructive alternatives.
steel-manning-synthesis	Synthesize all attacks and verdicts into a final unified assessment with surviving concerns and recommended modifications.
