MPPT: High-Effort Reasoning Algorithm

What it is

A reasoning framework that forces the AI to do deep, multi-angle thinking before answering - using multiple branches, critiques, verification, and final arbitration.

Instead of one-shot answers, it produces "decision-grade" outputs.

What it solves

Standard AI outputs often look confident but fail because they:

• Miss key edge cases
• Choose one reasoning path without challenging it
• Hallucinate when uncertain
• Don't verify assumptions
• Give shallow answers for complex decisions

MPPT solves: depth, reliability, and verification.

How it works

1. Problem decomposition

The system breaks the request into:

• Objective
• Constraints
• Evaluation criteria ("what counts as correct")

2. Branch generation

It creates multiple independent solution branches:

• Each branch tries a different approach
• Branches may represent different "roles" (planner, skeptic, verifier)

3. Critique + counter-analysis

Each branch gets challenged:

• "What could be wrong?"
• "What assumptions are weak?"
• "What edge case breaks this?"

4. Verification layer

Before finalizing, MPPT attempts to validate critical claims:

• If proof is not available, it marks it explicitly as assumption
• Reduces hallucinated certainty

5. Arbitration / merge

A final judge merges the best parts:

• Picks the most robust logic
• Resolves conflicts
• Outputs a final answer that is more stable and defensible

Key features

Multi-branch exploration

• Avoids being locked into one reasoning path
• Increases chance of finding better solutions and catching errors

Verification-first behavior

• Separates "known" vs "assumed"
• Flags uncertain claims instead of hiding them

Consistency and stability checks

• Detects contradictions
• Forces reasoning alignment before output

High-effort mode vs quick mode

• Can run lightweight for simple tasks
• Can run deep for strategic tasks

Where MPPT becomes valuable

• Strategy decisions (multi-angle analysis)
• Legal/compliance reasoning (precision matters)
• Complex workflows and planning
• Anything where shallow answers cause real damage

Differentiator

MPPT is not "a prompt." It's a structured reasoning process that upgrades AI from:

"fast answer generator" to "verified reasoning engine."
