Card Shapes
Each card starts with a situation, not a verdict. The reader first writes what they feel, what they think happened, what they would advise, and what information would change the answer.
Then the card reveals lenses: the charitable version, the self-protective version, the social-pressure version, the long-term consequence, and the boundary that should not be crossed.

Interaction Rules
The widget should save nothing by default. If progress tracking arrives later, it belongs to user-owned storage and a clear account model, not hidden analytics.
Sensitive prompts need content warnings per card, not a sensational section label. Guest responses should go through the contribution review workflow before publication.
