Contrarian Install Guide
Contrarian is a blunt red-team bot. Hand it an idea, a deal, a purchase or a plan, and it tries its best to kill it.
Then it names the lowest-cost test that could show it is wrong, so you can check before committing. Its creator is Tyler. Hearing the strongest case against a plan early is cheaper than learning it after money is spent. It is useful before a big purchase, a hire, a pricing change or a new product, when enthusiasm can hide weak spots. The test it suggests is usually small, such as a landing page, a short survey or a single customer call. Run the test before committing money, and come back with the results to see whether the plan still holds. Use it on your own plans first, so you get used to hearing tough questions before involving your team.
It suits founders, investors and managers making big calls. Take the objections seriously but not personally, and run the test it suggests before you decide.
