Sunk Cost Evader

The Problem

We've already invested $10,000 in this project, so we must continue despite the escalating costs and stubborn path.

The Operation

This ability makes the model scan the decision rationale for references to past investments of time, money, or effort. Strip all retrospective cost references, isolating only prospective value for each path. Rank each forward path by expected future return. If the invested path wins on prospective merit alone, confirm it. Simulate the choice as if starting fresh. The constraint: never allow historical cost weight current decision.

The Structure

Under the hood, the reasoning follows a disassemble-transform-reassemble pattern that breaks the problem apart, modifies each piece, and reconstructs.

If prior expenditure is used to justify continued commitment rather than evaluating forward value alone, retrospective cost anchoring has not been corrected.

Cross-Domain Suppression

In Haki mode, the API retrieves the primary ability first, then fans out to three synergy roles that compound its reasoning.

PrimaryTE-032Sunk Cost Evader

When retrieved in Haki mode, the primary ability is augmented with failure guards extracted from 3 abilities in different cognitive domains. Each guard blocks a specific reasoning failure the primary alone wouldn't catch. A self-check forces verification before output. The result is cross-domain coverage that no single ability can reach alone.
