The Contrast Report

Feel both futures before you choose.

Describe two paths you're considering. Instead of a pro/con list, AI writes a vivid 'day in the life' narrative for each path — a plausible Tuesday, set in your future. Your gut reacts before your brain does.

Overview

The Contrast Report replaces pro/con lists with emotional simulation. Describe two life paths you're weighing — stay vs. leave, job A vs. job B, city vs. suburbs — and AI writes a vivid, specific 'day in the life' for each future. Not fairy tales or horror stories. Plausible Tuesdays, with sensory detail, mundane moments, honest costs, and the small satisfactions that make a life. Finishes with what the AI noticed: which path carried more energy, what you'd be trading, and the real question underneath.

How to use it

  1. Describe Path A — the first option you're considering
  2. Describe Path B — the alternative
  3. Optionally share something about yourself for more personal narratives
  4. Choose a timeframe (1, 2, 5, or 10 years out)
  5. Read both narratives and notice which one your body reacts to

Example

Scenario: You're deciding whether to stay at your stable corporate job or quit to start your own business.

What you do: Enter both paths, add that you're 31 and love building things but value financial security, and set to 2 years.

Result: Two vivid day-in-the-life narratives: one where you're two years into the corporate track, one where you're two years into the startup. Each includes a moment of genuine satisfaction and an honest cost. The 'what I noticed' section surfaces what you'd grieve either way.
