A scruple for hard decisions
Every decision is a bet.
We short yours.
Paste a decision you're about to make. Scruple returns five named critics — each as specific, as sharp, and as mean as the best operator you've ever disappointed. Thirty seconds. No balance. No mercy.
“A small sharp pebble that lodges in a traveler’s shoe, forcing them to stop and reconsider the road.”
How it works
- 1.
Type the decision you're about to make. Say it plainly. 40 characters minimum.
- 2.
Five named critics — Skeptic, Economist, Future Self, Rival, Friend — each argue against your decision using your exact words.
- 3.
A Verdict names the weakest argument and gives you one cheap test, runnable this week, that would kill your thesis.
What it won't do
- — Agree with you
- — Give you a balanced take
- — Ask you clarifying questions
- — Remember you tomorrow (yet)
- — Protect your feelings

- Is this just ChatGPT?
- No. ChatGPT's default posture is agreement. Scruple's default is refusal. We prompt and constrain the model to argue only one side. Try it.
- Why not a panel of pros and cons?
- Because you can get pros and cons anywhere and they don't change your mind. Adversarial specificity does.
- Does it know who I am?
- No. V1 is stateless and anonymous. We don't ask for your name. Payment goes through Stripe; we see an email only if you subscribe.
- What if I disagree with the verdict?
- Good. That's useful information.
- Is this legal or medical advice?
- No. It's a thinking tool. Don't outsource your life.
