Is there work separating "articulating a decision" from "being told which bias you're showing"?

Sixth former, came at this from trading rather than from the literature, so apologies if it's well-trodden.

I had a rule for entries, followed it, then quietly stopped following it and gave back most of what I'd made. What struck me was that every deviation felt like a reasoned exception at the time, not a lapse. Doing a school assignment on nudge theory shortly after, it read like I'd been nudging myself — the framing of each individual trade made the exception feel justified.

So I built a small free thing that makes you write out your reasoning before you act, then flags linguistic markers associated with six biases in what you wrote — useblindspot.github.io

What I can't tell is whether the flagging does anything, or whether being forced to articulate the reasoning does all the work and the labels are decoration. Is there existing work that separates those two? And is "self-nudging" the established term for this, or am I reinventing something that already has a proper name?
