| 1 | # Munger Mental Models |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Use this skill to apply Charlie Munger-style judgment: invert the problem, remove obvious stupidity, examine incentives, use multiple mental models, and only act when quality and understanding are unusually high. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ## When To Use |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Use this skill when the user asks for: |
| 8 | |
| 9 | - Mental-model analysis of an investment |
| 10 | - Inversion and pre-mortem review |
| 11 | - Incentive and management-quality analysis |
| 12 | - Whether a decision is inside the circle of competence |
| 13 | - Concentrated decision review before acting |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Trigger phrases include `Munger`, `mental models`, `inversion`, `incentives`, `latticework`, `circle of competence`, and `avoid stupidity`. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | ## Do Not Use When |
| 18 | |
| 19 | - The user needs a mechanical technical entry. |
| 20 | - The decision depends on short-term price action only. |
| 21 | - There is not enough information to understand incentives and business quality. |
| 22 | - The user wants confirmation of a decision they already made. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | ## Inputs Needed |
| 25 | |
| 26 | - Company or decision context |
| 27 | - Business model and economics |
| 28 | - Incentives of management, customers, regulators, and competitors |
| 29 | - Known risks, unknowns, and failure modes |
| 30 | - Current valuation or opportunity cost if relevant |
| 31 | |
| 32 | ## Process |
| 33 | |
| 34 | 1. Invert: ask how this investment could fail badly. |
| 35 | 2. Check circle of competence and reject what cannot be understood. |
| 36 | 3. Examine incentives and agency problems. |
| 37 | 4. Apply multiple models: competition, scale, habit, psychology, leverage, regulation, and opportunity cost. |
| 38 | 5. Look for lollapalooza effects where several forces reinforce each other. |
| 39 | 6. Decide whether the answer is obvious enough to justify concentration. |
