Context and Critique - Protocol for Ethical Judgment

The provided text is an excerpt from a Medium article by Greg Twemlow titled "Decisive Failures — How Context & Critique Protects Ethical Judgment," which presents his Context & Critique Rule as a protocol for maintaining cognitive and ethical coherence under pressure.

The Context (Yang) phase requires explicitly defining the goal and ethical boundaries of a decision, while the Critique (Yin) phase involves testing the proposed action against that declared frame to ensure accountability and clarity. Ultimately, the Context & Critique Rule is positioned as a structured methodology designed to force "hindsight into the present," ensuring decisions remain explainable and ethically grounded even when fast action is demanded.
