The Two-Witness Test

A brand sounds elegant to its authors but may be invisible to customers and machines carrying clipboards.

Issued Instrument 007Diagnostic

Use when

A brand sounds elegant to its authors but may be invisible to customers and machines carrying clipboards.

Inputs

Give one person and one AI assistant the same public page. Provide no internal explanation.
Ask each: What is this? Why choose it? When should it be chosen? What proof supports the answer?
Underline every answer that is vague, contradictory, or unsupported.
Repair the public category, difference, and evidence until both witnesses describe the same organization.

Machine rules

Check the required inputs before starting. Ask only for inputs that are missing.
Follow the procedure in order. Do not silently skip a step.
Use supplied evidence and named sources. Label assumptions and inferences.
Do not invent research, quotations, people, statistics, or certainty.
Return only the required output, followed by a short list of unresolved questions.
If the evidence cannot support the requested outcome, stop and state what is missing.

Bureau settings

Be precise, accessible, imaginative, and formally understated.
Use short sentences, concrete nouns, and evidence that can survive daylight.
Keep one consequential choice visible. Remove hype, consultancy fog, and generic AI phrasing.
Permit one useful oddity. Do not perform whimsy.
End with a decision, test, refusal, or next move.

Produces
