A chatbot helps you.
BadMars attacks you.
Both are AI. The difference is intent. A general AI chatbot is built to be helpful, so it finds polite problems and talks up the plan. BadMars is built to attack it: a Panel of hostile specialists reads your plan for the failure modes you are avoiding, anchors every finding to your own words, cross-examines them, and scores by formula. Use a chatbot to write the plan. Use BadMars to find out where it dies.

| A general AI chatbot | BadMars | |
|---|---|---|
| Built to | Be helpful and agreeable | Attack the plan |
| Reads your plan as | An assistant answering a prompt | A Panel — hostile investor, skeptical customer, competitor, regulator, and more |
| Findings anchored to your words | Sometimes; often generic advice | Always — every finding quotes your text |
| Challenges its own answers | No | Yes — a cross-examination pass kills the weak ones |
| Score | None, or a number by mood | A fixed formula: severity × probability |
| What you get | A chat that forgets by tomorrow | A filed Mission Report — web, PDF, share card |
| Best for | Drafting, brainstorming, rewriting | Pressure-testing before reality does |
Reach for a chatbot when
You are writing the plan, summarizing a document, brainstorming names, or rewriting a paragraph. General assistants are excellent at producing and polishing. That is their job, and they are good at it.
Reach for BadMars when
The plan is written and you need to know where it breaks — before an investor, a customer, or the market tells you for free. One adversarial procedure, the same standard every time, the one problem to fix first named at the top.
Can't I just ask a chatbot to criticize my plan?
You can, and it helps. But a general assistant is built to be agreeable, so it grades on a curve, invents problems it cannot tie to your text, and forgets the context by the next message. BadMars runs a fixed adversarial procedure, anchors every finding to a verbatim quote, cross-examines itself, and files a report you can act on.
Is BadMars just a prompt on top of a chatbot?
No. It runs versioned specialist briefings against a coded failure taxonomy, forces every finding to anchor to your own words, runs a separate cross-examination pass, and computes the score by formula. A weekend can clone a prompt; none of that clones the procedure.
Which model does BadMars use?
BadMars is honest that it is an AI system, disclosed on every surface. The specialist model providers are named on the Disclosure page. What you are paying for is the adversarial machinery around them, not the raw model.
What does it cost?
A free Flyby reads the essentials once a month. A Landing is €39 one-time for the full Panel on up to ~80 pages, with a complete report, PDF, and a 48-hour full-refund guarantee.
