For journalists
Press center: facts you can verify yourself
Opponentura is a high-stakes decision review service: several independent AI roles review a business or personal decision before the irreversible step, argue in open session, vote on the record and issue a sealed report. It runs in Telegram: @OPPONENTURAbot; the first verdict is free.
What sets us apart is verifiability. Sample reports are published in full, each carrying a SHA-256 seal — the authenticity of any document can be checked by uploading the file on the verification page. A journalist does not have to take our word for anything.
The story we started with
The service's first public case was its own launch — and the panel returned REVISE. The report's own words: revise not the product but the way it was being tested. The report is open on the samples page along with more recent cases.
The founder, Vadim Kamashev, is an economist-mathematician by training (economic cybernetics), spent ten years as CFO of a large agricultural holding, and for more than 20 years has run his own retail and import business — premium oral-care products and jewelry sold through his own stores. For the last six months he has been building AI tools himself — and ran into AI's main weakness: the model praises the plan you bring it and agrees with the doubts you bring it, which is how you solve the wrong problem perfectly. His long-standing personal rule — sleep on it before a big decision — became a procedure that forces AI to argue with him. That is how Opponentura came about.

Founder bio — ready to use
Short. Vadim Kamashev is an economist-mathematician by training (economic cybernetics), spent ten years as CFO of a large agricultural holding, and for more than 20 years has run his own retail and import business — premium oral-care products and jewelry sold through his own stores. For the last six months he has been building AI tools himself and automating processes in his business. He built the project, in his own words, "not out of comfort": AI agrees with you, and that is how you solve the wrong problem perfectly. He built Opponentura as a procedure that forces AI to argue with him — for himself first, then opened it to everyone. The service's first public case was its own launch — the REVISE verdict is published in full.
Long. Vadim Kamashev trained as an economist-mathematician (economic cybernetics — the science of control through feedback). He spent ten years as CFO of a large agricultural holding and has run his own retail and import business for more than twenty years — premium oral-care products and jewelry, sold through his own stores; he puts his own entrepreneurial record at "roughly 50/50" and speaks openly about mistakes made with his own money. A doubter by temperament, he looks for weak spots in himself first; owners are rarely argued with in earnest, and negative feedback, he says, is what he always lacked. His personal rule: sleep on it before a big decision. For the last six months he has been building AI tools himself and automating the processes in his companies — and ran into AI's main weakness: the model praises the plan you bring it and agrees with the doubts you bring it, which is how you solve the wrong problem perfectly. He spent a long time trying to make models argue with him before concluding that the problem was not the model but the construction: a procedure with roles, an obligation to find the weakness, argument and on-the-record voting, where agreement benefits no one. That is how Opponentura came about — first for his own decisions, then opened to everyone. It runs a separate check of an important decision and issues a document: what was missed, what to verify first, under what conditions to change course. The service deliberately started with the uncomfortable part: its first public case was its own launch, and the panel returned REVISE — the report is open and verifiable by hash. Its principles: the decision always stays with the human; the report supports a decision rather than constituting advice; and the service's own errors are published on a dedicated page.

Editorial FAQ
- What happens to case data? Anonymization, a no-trace mode and retention terms are in the privacy policy. Site analytics never sees case content: we measure the site, not the decisions.
- What does it run on? Models from different vendors (Anthropic, OpenAI) in one session; a separate pass removes unverified claims before sealing — open reports show what it removed.
- Where does it get things wrong? The page "Where we get it wrong" sits in the menu, not the footer; every report carries a "Limitations of this session" section.
- Who is responsible for the decision? The human. The report supports a decision — it is not legal or financial advice, and every document says so.
- What is free? The first verdict. The full report is paid — see plans.
- Has he been published before? Yes, on other subjects: Russian business media quoted him as an executive of an agricultural holding between 2005 and 2011, and Cossa and Inc. Russia ran his bylined columns in 2018. Links are listed below under "Coverage of the founder".
