In 1997, I moved away from the CA and CS path I had been following. That experience made me more attentive to assumptions presented as obvious.
The wheel offers five prompts:
- Examine the evidence and its source.
- Identify assumptions and possible bias.
- Seek relevant perspectives, including dissent.
- Consider alternatives beyond the options first presented.
- Trace likely second-order effects and reversibility.
This is not mandatory syntax, and completing the cycle does not prove that a conclusion is correct. Some decisions need speed, expertise, or established procedure. The wheel is a way to slow down selected judgments, not a claim that other thinking is merely search.
