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
