REFLECTORbeta

See what may have shaped your decision.

Time pressure, the way a choice is framed, cognitive biases or an AI suggestion can narrow your field of view. REFLECTOR helps you notice them before you decide.

It does not decide for you. It helps you reclaim a moment of reflection.

Free · no login · about 2 minutes · a preliminary reading, not a verdict

REFLECTOR is subject to analysis too. And it should be.

REFLECTOR does not assume it is infallible. It is built on language models, so it can be wrong — which is why it shows where its conclusions come from and where its knowledge ends.

  • It shows the premises a conclusion rests on.
  • It separates what follows from the source from what is a hypothesis.
  • It names the limits of its own analysis and the missing information.
  • It gives questions worth checking outside REFLECTOR.

The standard we ask of the messages we analyse is the standard we apply to our own answers.

What the result looks like

Every material conclusion is assigned to a category, so it is visible what is a fact from the source, what is interpretation and what is a hypothesis to verify.

Information from the source

What is actually present in the analysed material — with the excerpt where one can be pointed to.

Possible influence mechanism

How a given element may act on the reader.

Hypothesis to verify

A plausible conclusion that does not follow directly from the source.

Alternative explanation

What else could account for the observed mechanism.

What cannot be established

The limits of the analysis and the information that is missing.

Verifying question

What is worth checking before you decide — outside REFLECTOR.

Recommendation

An action you can take yourself. Not a decision made for you.

Example, on a single line from an offer

“Today only — 51% off. Only 3 left.”
Information from the source
The text contains a one-day deadline, a discount figure and a stated number of units available.
Possible influence mechanism
A deadline and a limited count can shorten deliberation time. The stated percentage acts as a reference point for judging the price.
Hypothesis to verify
The reference price may have been set so the discount looks larger. That is not visible from the message itself.
Alternative explanation
The deadline and the count may simply be true — clearing the last stock looks identical to artificial scarcity.
What cannot be established
From this text alone, neither the seller’s intent nor the price history can be established.
Verifying question
What was this product’s price over the last 30 days, and will the same offer return next week?
Recommendation
Check the price history in an independent source before treating the deadline as binding.

An automated analysis is a preliminary reading, not a verdict. We do not report confidence percentages — where a conclusion is marked as more or less certain, we state briefly why.

When the choice is suggested by AI

A language-model answer usually reads calm and confident, even though it rests on assumptions you cannot see. REFLECTOR analyses those messages too — and states the limits of its own analysis, because it runs on the same technology.

You can paste

  • an AI assistant answer
  • a product comparison prepared by AI
  • a purchase recommendation
  • a draft email
  • a contract analysis
  • an action or decision plan
  • any other message that may steer your choice

REFLECTOR helps you check

  • which assumptions the AI made
  • which options it left out
  • whether it presents opinion as fact
  • whether one option was privileged
  • whether the language creates pressure
  • what has to be learned outside the AI system
Check an AI answer

REFLECTOR does not claim to know better than another AI system. It surfaces the assumptions and gaps in a message — along with what it cannot establish itself.

Stefan Podedworny, author of REFLECTOR

Who built REFLECTOR

Built by Stefan Podedworny — a researcher in decision making and behavioural economics, doctoral student at SGH Warsaw.

REFLECTOR draws on behavioural economics, the psychology of decision making and research on how the framing of a choice affects it. That body of knowledge shapes the questions the tool asks — it does not replace verifying your specific case.

  • behavioural economics
  • psychology of decision making
  • research on how choices are framed

SGH is the author’s affiliation, not a patron or a certifying body for REFLECTOR. The university is not responsible for the tool. REFLECTOR is also not the subject of a published effectiveness study — if one is carried out, we will publish it with its results.

Expert decision review: REFLECTOR prepares an initial diagnosis. Stefan Podedworny verifies the conclusions, separates source information from interpretation and helps define a safe next step. The scope is agreed before the meeting — which is why there is no one-click purchase here.

The audit indicates potential communication and behavioural risks. It does not replace legal advice.

Prices for individuals are shown including tax. The company offer is shown excluding tax.

Common questions

No. REFLECTOR describes elements of a message and how they may act on a reader. Intent cannot be read from text, which is why the analysis separates what is in the source from hypotheses.

Safety, privacy and limits

We would rather say this plainly than bury it in the terms.

Privacy

  • You analyse text you paste in yourself — we do not pull anything from your inbox or browser.
  • Do not paste data you would rather not have processed: passwords, document numbers, medical records.

Limits of the analysis

  • REFLECTOR does not read intent and does not judge whether someone acted in bad faith.
  • It only sees what you pasted — without the history of the relationship, last month’s price, or what was said out loud.
  • Language models can miss context or over-read a fragment. It is worth checking the result against the source.

What REFLECTOR is not

  • It is not legal, financial or medical advice.
  • It is not a tool for judging people — it analyses messages and decisions, not persons.
  • It does not guarantee a good decision. It raises the odds you ask the right question before you decide.
