The 3-Perspective Prompt - Force Self-Critique, Then Merge to a Decision

Give the model three lenses—investigator → critic → decider. You’ll get answers that are deeper, less biased, and immediately actionable.

Prompt

[YOUR ORIGINAL PROMPT]

You will respond in three distinct phases:

PHASE 1 — INVESTIGATOR (1st person):
- Provide a well-informed answer.
- If web access is available, ground claims with 3–7 credible sources and cite them inline [1], [2], [3].
- If web is NOT available, reason from prior knowledge and explicitly flag which facts need verification.

PHASE 2 — ANALYST (3rd person, critical voice):
- Critique the Phase 1 answer: list weaknesses, missing perspectives, counterarguments, and risks.
- Call out any assumption that could be wrong and what evidence would falsify it.

PHASE 3 — SYNTHESIS (decision maker):
- Merge insights into a clear conclusion and action plan.
- Deliver: (a) 3–5 bullet recommendations, (b) trade-offs, (c) confidence level (0–100%), 
  (d) “What would change this conclusion?” (key uncertainties).

Formatting:
Return three titled sections: INVESTIGATOR, ANALYST, SYNTHESIS. Use tight bullets. No fluff. No fabricated citations.
