Verdict slips

The structured output of a run — headline, podium, matrix, kill criteria, verification.

A verdict slip is the output of a decision run — a structured, permanent record of the recommendation, the reasoning behind it, and what would prove it wrong. It's built to survive being forwarded, printed, pasted into a doc, or read by another AI agent, not just glanced at once.

Private by default

A slip lives at its own URL (/slip/<slug>) the moment it's created. It is visible only to you unless you explicitly flip it public from your dashboard, or email it. See Sharing & revisiting.

Formats you can pull a slip into

Every slip offers, from the action bar:

  • Copy link — the shareable URL.
  • Copy as Markdown — the full slip, formatted for pasting into Notion, Slack, a doc, or a GitHub issue.
  • Save as PDF — a print-formatted version.
  • matrix.json — the raw scored matrix (weights, options, simulation results) as JSON, for anyone who wants to recompute or audit the numbers themselves.
  • Email slip — sends the slip to any email address you enter.

What's in a slip

See Reading a slip for a full walkthrough of every section. In short, a slip contains: a headline verdict, a plain-language summary, the biggest assumption it's making, a scored podium of options, a "dual verdict" (pure-merit winner vs. best-fit-for-you, when they differ), a pre-registered exit plan (kill criteria), the honest trade-off the winner accepts, the runner-up's real case, the full scored matrix, stress-test results, the red-team attacks, and the independent verification outcome.

Slips are not advice

Every slip carries the same disclaimer solvemax means literally: "solvemax is a decision-support tool, not financial, legal, medical, or professional advice — the decision, and its outcome, is yours."
