🔬 The Induction Engine
🕵️ A Sherlock Holmes tool — The consulting detective himself
Deduction reasons from rules; induction earns them. Paste your instances — incident logs, sales notes, experiment results — and the engine generalises with intellectual honesty: rules ranked strong, tentative, or weak; the evidence behind each; the single counterexample that would most efficiently kill it; and predictions phrased so you can check them. Completes the site's reasoning trio with the Board (deduction) and Eliminate the Impossible (abduction).
✅ Free to use — no account, nothing to configure.
What it does
Rules with receipts
Every generalisation cites its instances and admits how many there are.
Black-swan hunting
Each rule names the one observation that would break it — falsification built in.
Checkable predictions
Concrete forecasts about unseen instances, phrased to be tested.

"It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data." The engine refuses to — and tells you when the data is too thin.
