FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my strategy for me?

    No. The AI identifies flaws and suggests improvements, but you retain full control over the final decisions.

  • 02

    Does the AI delete any of my original planning documents?

    No. The AI only reads your data to perform the validation; it cannot modify or delete your files.

  • 03

    What kind of files can I use for stress testing?

    You can use any text-based strategy, such as a PDF, a markdown file, or text pasted directly into the chat.

    No. It identifies the logical relationship between your assumptions and market conditions, but it does not predict the future.

    It uses the validate_ceo_strategy tool to map your goals against measurable thresholds that indicate failure.
