Run against a real pricing-strategy question (switch a $600K-ARR SaaS from per-seat to usage-based?), it reframes the question from 'which pricing model' to 'is per-seat mismatched with the value-scaling variable', names a real strongest-counterargument, and labels its own premises as fact/guess/borrowed before concluding - a baseline single-pass answer gave generic consulting advice with no counter-argument or premise check.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 8/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5

What Comprehensive Thinking does

Forces a mandatory five-layer review (problem framing, master-theory lens, synthesized fact base, strongest-counterargument and premise audit, then a falsifiable synthesis) instead of a single-pass answer, for complex judgment calls where being wrong is costly - architecture decisions, financial/ledger truth, strategic pivots, root-cause analysis. Entirely Chinese-language instructions; triggers on explicit phrases like "全面思考", "从根上看", "根因分析" as well as English high-risk project signals (multi-region, ledger, live trading).
