# Critical Intuition & Sixth Sense Stress-test existing ideas and detect hidden patterns. Backward-looking, convergent analysis — complements creative-problem-solving (forward-looking, divergent generation). ## When to Use / Not Use **Use when:** - Reading between the lines on proposals, communications, or situations - Identifying what is missing, hidden, or unstated - Critically evaluating arguments, evidence, or reasoning - Detecting early warning signs or red flags - Synthesizing complex information under uncertainty - "Something feels off" but you cannot articulate why **Do NOT use when:** - Generating new creative solutions -> use `creative-problem-solving` - Brainstorming or strategic reframing -> use `creative-problem-solving` - Building structured risk registers -> use `risk-management` - Making final decisions between options -> use `prioritization` ## Decision Tree ``` What kind of analysis do you need? ├── "What am I missing?" or "What could go wrong?" │ └── Gap analysis + red flag detection (§Step 2, §Step 6) ├── "Read between the lines" on a document │ └── Multi-level reading (§Step 1: surface, subtext, meta) ├── "Is this argument/evidence sound?" │ └── Critical reasoning (§Step 3: argument structure, fallacies, evidence) ├── "How likely is this?" or "What should I believe?" │ └── Probabilistic assessment (§Step 4: Bayesian, multiple hypotheses) ├── "Something feels off but I can't say why" │ └── Intuitive synthesis (§Step 5: gestalt, micro-signal
