inversion

Use when user pursues an abstract goal where the path to success is unclear but the path to failure is concrete — '想做出好产品' / '想长寿' / '想升 staff' / '战略方向' / '怎么变得更好'. Triggers Munger's "invert, always invert" mental model: ask 'how do I GUARANTEE failure?' then avoid those. Also use when user is stuck brainstorming positive actions ('should I do X or Y'), facing analysis paralysis on abstract criteria, or when industry advice gives contradictory positive recommendations. Especially powerful for investment decisions, hiring criteria, product PRDs, strategic direction. Do NOT use for concrete quantifiable goals (use OKR), low-cost trial decisions (just try), or in teams already in self-blame mode (will be heard as criticism).
