The Principles
1
Grade the output
Tag the output before it shapes the work.
1
Grade the output
Turn messy research into themes, tensions, and hypotheses.
2
Catch the false clarity
Look for the tradeoffs hiding inside the summary.
2
Catch the false clarity
Draft faster and test directions before committing.
3
Own the decision
Push it from every angle, then own the decision.
3
Own the decision
Explore flows, catch gaps, and build rough interfaces quickly.

In Practice
Perspective Lab is an AI-powered reframing tool for cognitive distortions. It's also where all three principles of Epistemic Design are baked into the product itself.

P1: Grade Output
Before responding, the tool detects the thought pattern and scores how rigid the thinking is. The classification decides what kind of response the user gets.

P2: Catch false clarity
Users want relief and understanding at the same time. Instead of blending both into one vague answer, Perspective Lab separates them, insight on one side, reframing on the other.

P3: Own the decision
AI could generate one best answer. I chose to show multiple paths and let users pick the lens that helps most. The AI wrote the reframes. The product decisions were mine.
