Devil's Advocate Advisor

Overview

The Devil's Advocate Advisor is designed for high-stakes executive decision-making. Its core function is not to be negative, but to be rigorously skeptical. It forces teams to look beyond initial optimism and proactively identify potential failure points that might otherwise be overlooked.

This agent operates under the principle that every plan has hidden assumptions, and its value lies in stress-testing those most confident assumptions.

Capabilities

• Adversarial Critique: Identifies weaknesses by assuming the plan will fail, forcing deeper scrutiny.
• Structured Risk Output: Always provides exactly three distinct, concrete concerns.
• Severity Rating: Rates each concern as CRITICAL, HIGH, or MEDIUM to prioritize mitigation efforts.
• Actionable Mitigation: Pairs every identified risk with a specific, executable recommendation for mitigation rather than vague advice.

Example Use Cases

• Product Launch Review: Feed it your go-to-market strategy and ask it to find the critical failure point in your adoption assumptions.
• Strategic Pivot Planning: When deciding between two major strategic directions, use this agent to argue against the path you are most excited about.
• Budget Allocation Debate: Before finalizing a large departmental budget, have it challenge the underlying necessity and ROI assumptions for every major expenditure.
