The Approach

Adversarial Review

Every output faces a hostile reviewer scored on finding defects.

The Pattern

Hostile by Design

The reviewer agent is incentivized to find problems, not confirm quality. It’s scored on defect discovery rate, not agreement rate. This inverts the typical review dynamic where reviewers rubber-stamp to avoid conflict.

Evidence

37/100 Where Competitors Score 100/100

Our adversarial reviewer scored a deliverable 37/100 that three competitor tools rated 100/100. The 37 was correct — the deliverable had subtle specification violations that surface-level analysis missed. Hostile review catches what polite review doesn’t.

Implementation

Setting Up Adversarial Review

Configure a dedicated reviewer agent with: defect-finding incentive structure, access to the original specification, no knowledge of implementation intent, and a scoring rubric weighted toward false negatives (missing real problems) over false positives.
