Run a bull vs bear debate
Desk seat: Research
The problem
One-sided research leads to overconfidence.
What the agent does
Two agents argue opposite sides, then a judge lists what's unresolved.
Copy-paste prompt
Run a structured debate about [idea]. Round 1: Bull makes 3 strongest points. Round 2: Bear rebuts and makes 3 strongest points. Round 3: each rebuts once. Then a neutral Judge lists the unresolved questions and rates evidence quality. No recommendation. Do not give buy/sell/hold advice or price targets; label facts vs. inferences and cite sources.

Limitations
A single model arguing both sides shares the same blind spots; try two models. AI can be wrong, so verify before relying on any output.
