Frame a candour-inviting ask for a trusted critic
Drafts a short framing for sharing a draft argument with a named critic that states the claim crisply and explicitly invites disagreement by naming where the practitioner is least sure.
In / outDraft argument/thesis + named critic → short framing note that states the claim, signals openness to pushback, and names where challenge would help most

“Every time I share a draft I get polite encouragement instead of the pushback I actually need.”
What it does
Given a draft argument or thesis and a named critic, drafts a short framing that states the claim crisply and explicitly invites disagreement — naming where the practitioner is least sure and what kind of pushback would help most. Used right before sharing one-to-one or with a small group to maximise the chance of honest challenge rather than polite agreement.
