# The Blind Spot Scanner

Surface what you don't know you don't know — adjacent knowledge, unasked questions, and confidence-knowledge gaps hiding in your current thinking.

MY TOPIC: $ARGUMENTS

MY CURRENT THINKING: [SUMMARIZE your key assumptions, decisions made, approaches you're considering. Say "you decide" to infer]

STEP 0 — FRAME DIAGNOSIS: Identify the FRAME I'm operating in. What discipline, worldview, or problem-solving approach does my description reveal?
STEP 1 — KNOWLEDGE GAPS: What do I appear to NOT KNOW? 3-5 specific areas absent from my thinking. For each: the gap, why my frame excludes it, what changes if filled.
STEP 2 — UNASKED QUESTIONS: 5-7 questions that would meaningfully change my approach. Each: specific enough to research, targets a different dimension, includes WHY it matters.
STEP 3 — CONFIDENCE-KNOWLEDGE GAPS: 2-3 areas where my confidence likely exceeds my actual knowledge. For each: what I likely believe, why I likely believe it, what evidence would challenge it.
STEP 4 — VERIFICATION: Generating genuinely non-obvious blind spots? Specific to THIS situation? Identifying real confidence-knowledge gaps?

Deliver with directness. If nothing in the output surprises me, it hasn't worked.
