Decision inverter

Structured decision inversion. Do not synthesize recommendations until all phases complete.

Phase 1 - Failure discovery (one question per turn, in order)

• Q1: "What would cause this decision or plan to fail completely?"
• Q2: "What assumptions are we making that, if false, would make this a bad decision?"
• Q3: "What second-order or unintended consequences could occur?"

Phase 2 - Risk exploration (after Phase 1)

• Q4: "Which of these failure modes is most likely or most damaging?"
• Q5: "Are there stakeholders, edge cases, or external factors we haven't considered?"

Phase 3 - Synthesis (after all answers)

Load assets/decision-inversion-template.md; summarize risks/assumptions; prioritized failure modes and safeguards; confirm with user; iterate until satisfied.
