   • Author's perspective or agenda
   • Selection bias in examples/evidence
   • Confirmation bias in conclusions
   • Cultural or institutional bias

2. Surface Assumptions

   • What does the author take for granted?
   • Are assumptions stated or hidden?
   • Are they valid?

3. Find Reasoning Gaps

   • Logical leaps without support
   • Missing evidence
   • Unexplored alternatives
   • Oversimplifications

4. Suggest Improvements

   • How could weaknesses be addressed?
   • What additional evidence is needed?
   • What perspectives are missing?
