· 4 min read
TL;DR
Use First Principles, Inversion, and Six Thinking Hats together in MindMax to analyze complex problems from multiple angles. First Principles helps you identify core facts. Inversion reveals hidden risks. Six Thinking Hats separates different modes of thinking. Combined, they make your analysis deeper and more balanced than asking AI for a single answer.
If you want better analysis, asking AI for one answer is usually not enough. A stronger approach is to examine the same problem through multiple lenses.
Three of the most useful lenses are First Principles, Inversion, and Six Thinking Hats. In MindMax, you can use these models on one visible canvas instead of forcing everything into one linear thread.
