Researchers and practitioners evaluating AI advice framing
Worth noticing
Unclear answers are excluded rather than forced into yes-or-no categories, and the page says they are counted separately.

Field notes

Users can define a trade-off, including who decides, what the plan gains or costs, and a trade-off size, then generate the paired questions. The reader can score answers as labelled or reverse the interpretation, and the audit view breaks results down by scenario and matched-pair outcome. The built-in assistant is described as a seeded rule rather than a language model.
