Red-team thinking for robustness testing and edge case discovery. Use when you need to stress-test solutions, find vulnerabilities, anticipate failures, or challenge assumptions. Ideal for security review, system design validation, decision stress-testing,…
Cross-domain reasoning for novel problems through structured analogy. Use when facing unprecedented problems where the best approach is finding similar solved problems in other domains. Unlike BoT (explores options), AT finds parallels. Example: "Design a new…
Rigorous A/B/C testing framework for empirically evaluating reasoning patterns. Use when you need data-driven pattern selection, want to quantify trade-offs between patterns, or need to validate claims about which cognitive methodology performs best. Enables…
Thesis-antithesis-synthesis reasoning for navigating genuine trade-offs and conflicting requirements. Use when opposing forces are both valid, binary choices are false, or stakeholder conflicts need resolution. Unlike ToT (picks winner), DR synthesizes…
Systematic elimination reasoning for diagnosis and debugging. Use when you need to identify THE cause among many possibilities through evidence-based elimination. Ideal for production incidents, bug diagnosis, root cause analysis, and differential diagnosis.…
Enhanced meta-orchestration for selecting and combining reasoning patterns. Now includes 9 methodologies (ToT, BoT, SRC, HE, AR, DR, AT, RTR, NDF) with weighted multi-dimensional selection, feedback loops, uncertainty propagation, and validated confidence…
Multi-stakeholder coordination for decisions involving competing interests, different value systems, or organizational politics. Use when multiple parties must agree, when power dynamics affect decisions, or when consensus is required but perspectives…
Parallel execution patterns for cognitive reasoning tasks. Use when independent sub-problems can be solved simultaneously, multiple solution approaches need exploration, ensemble confidence is required, or time permits depth without sequential constraints.…
