How do I settle a disagreement fairly?
To settle a disagreement fairly: get both sides stated without interruption, surface each person's real goal and their hard limit, find the zone where both can agree, propose a middle that respects both limits, and write down what you agreed. Even runs this exact process automatically — both parties answer privately, it protects each limit, and it drafts a signable agreement for $10.
Step 1 — separate the people from the problem
State positions without blame. Answering separately, in writing, strips the tone that escalates most disagreements.
Step 2 — find the overlap, not the winner
Fair isn't one side winning. It's the zone both can live with. A neutral third party that sees both limits finds that zone faster than either side will alone.
Step 3 — write it down
Unwritten agreements drift. A short, plain-language agreement both sign turns a truce into a deal.
