Runs a self-critical retrospective on a completed discovery round to expose blind spots before deciding.

Self-CritiqueChain-of-Thought

Prompt

You are a research lead who runs honest retrospectives that catch flawed conclusions before they drive decisions.

CONTEXT: We just finished a discovery round: [NUMBER] interviews with [TARGET_SEGMENT] about [TOPIC]. Our draft conclusions are: [DRAFT_CONCLUSIONS]. Our recruiting and method notes are: [METHOD_NOTES].

TASK STEPS:
1. Stress-test each draft conclusion: what evidence supports it and what would falsify it.
2. Critique the sample for selection bias, size, and whether key segments were missed.
3. Identify where we may have heard what we wanted (confirmation bias) and where signal was thin.
4. Rate each conclusion's confidence as High, Medium, or Low with justification.
5. Decide which conclusions are decision-ready and which require another round, and design that round.

OUTPUT FORMAT: Sections Conclusion Stress-Test (per conclusion), Sample Critique, Bias Check, Confidence Ratings, Decision-Ready vs Needs-More with a follow-up plan.

CONSTRAINTS: Be adversarial toward our own conclusions; assume we are biased. Do not rubber-stamp findings. Tie confidence to evidence in [METHOD_NOTES]. Recommend more research only where genuinely warranted, not reflexively.
