French/Dutch tolerate direct critique; East-Asian needs it wrapped.

Designate one person — or take the role yourself — as official critic before approving any major decision.

After each output, ask: "What are 3 weaknesses in this answer? How to improve?" — use its intelligence against itself.

After YOU write, ask AI for 3 improvements only. Don't let it "rephrase".

After completing AI-assisted work (report, presentation, plan), ask AI itself to attack the work as a strict external critic before submission.
