Synthetic Thinking: The User Manual

Welcome to the practical guide for building your own Synthetic Thinking engine—designed not just to automate tasks, but to sharpen executive discernment, clarify ambiguity, and elevate strategic judgment. Think of this as the operator's manual for your personal (or enterprise) AI partner. Let’s get into it →

🧠 What’s Included:

Part 1: Define the Mental Territory
→ What decisions you want AI to help you make — and how to set that up

Part 2: Curate a Strategic Corpus
→ Feed it your own thinking: decks, memos, patterns, tradeoffs

Part 3: Build Thought Modules
→ Prompts like: “Debate me like our biggest competitor would” or “Ask me what I’m avoiding”

Part 4: Embed Judgment Frameworks
→ Teach it when to use OODA, Cynefin, or Christensen — and why

Part 5: Build the Feedback Loop
→ Set it to track your decisions, audit your blind spots, and show you how you actually think

Part 6: Activate Use Cases
→ From deal rooms to internal comms to scenario analysis
