What’s the strongest argument against what I’m about to do?
I’m about to . I’m leaning this way because . Treat this as a plan from someone you don’t know and have no reason to please. Give me the strongest honest case against it: the three most likely ways it goes wrong, what I’m probably underweighting, and the one question that would change the answer if I knew it. Then tell me what would have to be true for this to be the right call. Be direct. No padding and no reassurance I did not ask for.
