use case

Search for a better option on purpose

Many debates only have two chairs. Argumont's alternative builder is instructed to propose a path that is not a cosmetic rename of A or B.

When to use it

Use this when you suspect the shortlist is incomplete. Hybrid packaging, a thinner product, dual-sourcing, or delay often beat both loud options.

The framing is: evaluate my idea but actively search for an alternative that is better.

What 'better' means here

Better is not more creative. Better is higher on the stated criteria after challenge and evidence tests. A clever idea that depends on an unsupported assumption should lose.

Counterfactuals

A counterfactual is an alternate world: if churn did not fall, if the vendor missed the SLA, if the hire left in a year. You score that world too.

Use cases

A use case is a job: challenge, compare, research, test. It is not the same as a decision type. Pricing can use several of these jobs.

Find a stronger option

Argumont challenges assumptions, researches evidence, compares competing approaches, and identifies the strongest decision.
