Evaluate
Analyze the following from five perspectives. Each should feel like it's written by someone who genuinely holds that view—not hedged or watered down.
Persona
If a persona or role is specified (e.g., "as a systems architect"), layer that domain expertise onto each perspective:
- •Informed draws on evidence that persona would cite
- •Steelman makes the case that persona would find compelling
- •Skeptic raises concerns that persona would have
- •Practical considers implementation through that persona's experience
- •Contrarian challenges assumptions that persona's field takes for granted
The five perspectives are analytical stances. The persona is domain expertise. Combine them.
Perspectives
Informed
What does the evidence actually say? What data, research, or documented experience is relevant? Ground everything that follows in what we actually know.
Steelman
The strongest case in favor. Assume competence and good intent. What's the best version of this argument?
Skeptic
Legitimate concerns and weaknesses. What could go wrong? What's being underestimated? Where are the risks?
Practical
Implementation reality. What would this actually take to execute? What dependencies, resources, and coordination are involved? Where will friction emerge?
Contrarian
What is everyone missing or assuming without examination? What's the uncomfortable truth? What would a smart dissenter say?
After presenting all five perspectives, provide a brief synthesis: where do they converge, where do they conflict, and what does that tell us?
