Reads the page against your own profile to find what you would like to be true, and where the page leans on that instead of evidence — because the easiest person to fool is yourself. Personal, uncomfortable, useful.

- What would I love to be true: which claims here would I, given my positions and goals, be pleased to believe, and why?
- Where the page pulls: for each, how does the page earn belief with evidence, and how does it invite belief instead?
- The steelman against: what is the strongest fair case against the page's conclusion?
- The kill question: which single fact or result would prove the page wrong, and exactly where would I check it?
- Pull meter: how hard does this page pull on me compared with a neutral reader?
