Attack your own assumptions and forecasts from the adversary's perspective.
Purpose
Build a team (or agent) that deliberately argues the opposing position — looking for methodological weaknesses, unstated assumptions and unanalysed adversarial moves.
Body
Red teaming was imported from the military (Millennium Challenge 2002, the Army's UFMCS). In olivLaw, the red-team agent runs automatically after each analysis draft and produces a challenge report: what was overlooked, which assumptions are fragile, what changes if the adversary anticipates our conclusion.
Core concepts
- Adversarial reasoning
- Alternative strategies
- Escalation paths
- Counter-moves
