Scruple

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.

Questions

Is this just ChatGPT with a costume?
No. ChatGPT defaults to balance and agreement. Scruple is constrained to argue only one side, in five distinct voices, against you. Try the same prompt in both. The output is different.
Why not pros and cons?
Pros and cons don't change minds. Adversarial specificity does. You don't need a list. You need a friend who won't lie to you.
Will it know who I am?
No. Scruple 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.
