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

Perspective Assignment — Define distinct perspectives with their values, concerns, and evaluation criteria
Perspective Attack — Each perspective independently attacks the decision and proposes alternatives
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

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

SOP	When to use
perspective-assignment	Define distinct stakeholder or analytical perspectives with their values, concerns, and evaluation criteria.
perspective-attack	Attack a decision from a specific assigned perspective, producing rated arguments and constructive alternatives.
steel-manning-synthesis	Synthesize all attacks and verdicts into a final unified assessment with surviving concerns and recommended modifications.
