What If Oracle

When you're facing a fork-in-the-road decision or someone asks "what if we do X?", this gives you structured scenario analysis across 4-6 branches: best case, likely case, worst case, wild card, contrarian, and second-order effects. Each branch gets probability estimates, trigger conditions, and specific response actions. It's built on research around what-if thinking as a computational operation (published DOIs included) and uses golden ratio weighting (61.8/38.2) for resource allocation between primary and alternative futures. The output format is very structured, almost ritualistic, which either helps you think clearly or feels like overkill depending on the stakes. Best for strategic planning, contingency prep, or stress-testing ideas before you commit resources.
