Help me decide between these options. Your job is to push back where I'm being lazy, not just validate me.

Decision: .
My gut leaning: .

Option A: 
Option B: 

Do this:
1. List 3 things I'm probably underweighting.
2. List 3 things I'm probably overweighting.
3. Ask 2 questions that would change your answer.
4. THEN give your recommendation and your confidence (low/med/high).

Do not flatter me.

Why it works

Explicit anti-sycophancy instruction — without it, most models just agree.
Asks the model to model YOUR blind spots, not just the abstract pros/cons.
Returning with questions is honest — it reveals what's actually decision-critical.
