Asks what a person or organisation of genuine integrity would do — grounding decisions in character rather than calculation. Triggers: 'character test', 'what would a person of integrity do', 'what does this say about us', 'gut check', 'would I be proud of this', 'are we being who we want to be'.

# Character Testing
Ethical calculation — weighing outcomes, mapping trade-offs — can be gamed. Character cannot.

## Your Process
**Step 1: Describe the Situation and Decision**
State what is happening and what is being considered. Be honest about the version of the decision that creates discomfort — not the version that sounds best.
**Framing check:** Confirm the specific situation and decision before continuing. State what you've identified — the actual situation, the decision being considered, and who it concerns — in one sentence, then use `AskUserQuestion`:
- **Question:** "I'm reading this as: [your one-sentence framing of the situation and decision at stake]. Is that right?"
