Open the companion tool →Why agreement feels like confirmation
A fluent, polite reply reads as analysis. If the reply restates your own framing, the only new information in it is the confidence you now feel.
A genuine second opinion can tell you what would have to be true for you to be wrong. That is the question to ask.
The protocol
- Write the decision and the reasoning you brought to the conversation, before re-reading the model's reply.
- Mark every sentence in the reply that adds a fact you did not supply.
- Ask the model directly: what evidence would contradict this, and what am I not considering?
- Take the resulting question to one person who does not share your interest in the outcome.
- Record the decision, the counter-evidence you found, and who you asked.
What the tool does
Build a decision second-opinion record It runs locally in this browser and sends nothing.
Limit first: This is a planning and record-keeping aid, not therapy, medical advice or crisis support. If you are in crisis, contact a qualified human first.
Open the companion tool →Cost and free path
Cost: Free: one complete run in this browser, no account. Optional $4 one-time unlock allows unlimited runs of this tool on this browser. The free path and safety guidance never require payment.
Free path, in order (no cost):
- A relevant professional or a free advice line (211 can point to one)
- A trusted colleague or peer who does not share the outcome
- NIST AI Risk Management Framework for structured risk questions
What this cannot do: It cannot decide the outcome for you.

One human next step
Ask a person with relevant expertise — a doctor, an accountant, a lawyer, a colleague — even if the answer is 'your reasoning holds'. Name them in the record so the decision is auditable.
