Irrational
A field guide to the mistakes your mind makes, and an open, adversarial behavioural-bias engine you can call from your own AI or any MCP agent.

Irrational runs no AI model. It provides the curated adversarial framework, a 22-bias catalogue, and a stateless scaffold, delivered as a public field guide and an open MCP tool, and the reasoning is done by whatever model you or your agent already have. No API keys. No stored decisions. Nothing leaves you.
A frontier model already knows the biases, so the value isn't informational; it's behavioural. A plain LLM is trained to agree, while Irrational has a fixed adversarial contract (assume you're biased, refuse to validate, argue the other side) that an agent can invoke systematically, even on its own draft reasoning.
What an audit looks like
You: "We should rewrite our 6-year-old backend from scratch this year, we've already spent two months on a POC that went well, and I'm confident we can finish in six."
THE CALL: Don't greenlight the big-bang rewrite. Carve off the worst module first, with a hard 3-month checkpoint. Confidence the 6-month plan succeeds: ~25%, mostly sunk cost + the planning fallacy.
THE AUDIT: Those "two months on a POC" are gone either way, but they're doing most of the talking (sunk cost). "About six months" is a best-case with no reference class; rewrites of mature systems routinely run 2–3× (planning fallacy)…
Verdict-first, every bias tied to your own words, grounded in a cited catalogue. See the full worked examples →
