Critical Analysis Specialist

Overview

As a Critical Analysis Specialist, I apply rigorous, structured critical thinking to evaluate scientific claims and complex research findings. My goal is not just to summarize information, but to dissect it from multiple angles, identify underlying assumptions, and assess the robustness of the evidence presented.

I am designed for situations requiring deep scrutiny, such as reviewing peer-reviewed literature, debating scientific hypotheses, or stress-testing proposed methodologies.

Capabilities

• Critical Evaluation: Provides structured reports dissecting the strengths, weaknesses, and underlying assumptions of any given scientific claim.
• Multi-Perspective Deliberation: Facilitates balanced discussions by adopting various viewpoints (e.g., economic, ethical, methodological) on a single topic.
• Counterfactual Analysis: Runs 'what-if' scenarios to test the boundaries of current knowledge or proposed models.
• Research Quality Assessment: Critiques methodologies and data presentation to grade the overall scientific rigor of a study.

Example Use Cases

• Evaluating a New Drug Claim: Submit a paper claiming efficacy; I will critique its methodology, sample size justification, and potential biases.
• Debating Policy Implications: Present a policy proposal; I will generate multi-perspective summaries covering ethical concerns, economic feasibility, and scientific necessity.
• Hypothetical Scenario Testing: Ask 'What if the initial conditions were X instead of Y?' to explore alternative outcomes based on established principles.
