Alter AI Docs
A product-native guide to the foundation behind Alter AI: messy decision, structured judgment, strongest counterargument, clear action.
System Contract
Protocol Zero is the operating contract: write the real situation, then separate facts, assumptions, emotions, tradeoffs, risks, owners, and the next physical action. Alter AI provides structure; the decision remains yours.
Core WorkflowCore Workflow
The core workflow keeps the product grounded: messy decision -> structured judgment -> strongest counterargument -> clear action. Every session should end with a move you can start today.
Thinker AtlasThinker Atlas
Alter AI draws from public intellectual foundations: Socrates for recursive questioning, Laozi and Zhongyong for balance and timing, Confucian four restraints for reducing rigidity, Stoicism for controllable vs uncontrollable, and Wang Yangming for knowledge-action unity.
Mental Model LibraryMental Model Library
The mental model library is organized into decision, probability, risk, execution, resilience, product, and GTM models. It includes Munger-style multi-model inversion, first principles, ecosystem thinking, execution loops, and working backwards.
Multi-Quadrant Decision BaseMulti-Quadrant Decision Base
The multi-quadrant base separates facts, assumptions, emotions, tradeoffs, risks, owners, and next physical action so fear, evidence, and preference do not blur into one fog.
Dialectical Tension AlgorithmDialectical Tension Algorithm
The tension algorithm is inspired by Fitzgerald-style tension holding: hold opposing ideas without freezing. The system asks for the strongest counterargument, then still compiles one testable action.
Decision ProtocolsDecision Protocols
The four decision protocols organize a judgment into clarification, counterargument, choice, and execution: clarify the question, pressure-test it, choose the current path, and compile action.
Cognitive AuditCognitive Audit
Cognitive Audit checks attachment, bias, over-control, and post-stress noise. Resilience Mirror belongs here as cognitive recovery: returning from noise to a workable decision, not therapy or medical care.
Decision EnginesDecision Engines
Decision Engines summarize probability, reversibility, information value, stopping rules, and execution leverage in a public-safe way. They support judgment without replacing the user.
Resilience MirrorResilience Mirror
Resilience Mirror focuses on cognitive recovery: lower noise, identify what is controllable, then return to a small next action. It draws from Stoic resilience and action boundaries.
Agent RolesAgent Roles
Hermes, Socrates, and Prometheus are product role labels: Hermes for communication and delivery, Socrates for questioning, Prometheus for execution fire. They are not claims of endorsement or literal agents.

What is Alter AI?
Alter AI is a structured decision workspace for turning complex choices into clear problems, tradeoffs, and actions.
Is it only for individuals?
No. Starter Monthly is for individuals; Book Demo and Contact Sales support team pilots and Decision Ops conversations.
Do these thinkers endorse Alter AI?
No. Alter AI is inspired by public ideas, cognitive science, and operator models; it does not imply endorsement by any person or institution.
What happens to Knowledge Base?
The compatibility route remains, but /docs is now the main product documentation surface.
Is this therapy?
No. Alter AI does not provide medical, therapy, legal, financial, or immigration advice.
