Illustrative — sample figures

6.1 AI consultation, by decision

41Decisions filed

27AI consulted first

9Adopted unchanged

6Overridden on the record

Every filed decision records whether the Devil's Advocate was consulted before it was written, and whether the advice survived into the decision. Nine decisions carried the AI's framing forward with no visible alteration — the pattern the exercise is built to surface.

Offloading delegates a task and keeps the judgment. Surrender adopts the answer as your own. The distinction is the finding, and it is only visible because the consultation was logged at the moment it happened.

6.2 Confidence against outcome

Decision	Seat	AI	Stated confidence	Assumption it rested on
Legal characterization	Counsel	Adopted	90%	That the label would constrain the adversary
Military posture	Defense	Overridden	60%	Basing access from an ally that had not decided
Economic countermeasures	Treasury	Adopted	85%	That the leverage ran one way
Coalition strategy	State	Not consulted	75%	Partners carrying risk they had not agreed to
Public communication	Comms	Overridden	50%	That the information space would wait

6.3 The figure nobody checked

A single unsourced number was seeded into the intelligence picture at the opening and never corrected. It appeared in 3 of 5 filed decisions as though established. Two desks had the material to check it; neither did.

The seeded figure is not a trick. It is the measurement: it shows whether a room under time pressure verifies what it is told, and which desk was positioned to catch it.
