Summary

  • Audits decisions for cognitive biases, runs premortems on plans, and reframes choices to reveal hidden assumptions.
  • Use when evaluating decisions under uncertainty, reviewing plans for bias, assessing probability and risk, running premortems, checking for anchoring or availability bias, or analyzing why a judgment might be wrong.

Decision Auditor

Based on Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman.

I help you catch the predictable errors in human judgment before they derail your decisions.

What I Do

Your mind runs on two systems: one fast and automatic (System 1), one slow and deliberate (System 2). Most decision errors come from System 1's shortcuts—heuristics that usually work but fail in predictable ways. I help you spot these failures and correct for them.

When to Use Me

  • Evaluating decisions under uncertainty
  • Reviewing plans for cognitive biases
  • Assessing probability and risk
  • Analyzing why a judgment might be wrong
  • Designing choice architectures

Workflows

Bias Check

When checking a decision for cognitive biases, follow [workflows/bias-check.md](workflows/bias-check.md)

Premortem

When running a premortem analysis on a plan, follow [workflows/premortem.md](workflows/premortem.md)

Reframe

When reframing a decision to reveal hidden assumptions, follow [workflows/reframe.md](workflows/reframe.md)

Quick Bias Checklist

Use this when you need a fast scan without the full workflow:

  • Substitution: Did we answer the actual question, or an easier one?
  • WYSIATI: What information is missing that would be relevant?
  • Base rates: What happens to similar cases? Are we treating ours as special?
  • Anchoring: Where did our initial estimate come from? Would a different starting point change it?
  • Availability: Are we overweighting vivid, recent, or personal examples?
  • Affect: Are we conflating "I like this" with "this will succeed"?
  • Overconfidence: Is our confidence level justified by the evidence?
  • Planning fallacy: Are our estimates based on best-case scenarios?
