How can you tell whether something is a better reasoning framework for big ideas? Seems like that's the step that does all the work.

I wish I could say empirically. Simply trial the framework and see if you end up making better choices, better predictions about the world.
Unfortunately, if rationalism has so far done anything to help people in any sort of measurable empiric way, it's been too slight for anyone to statistically notice.
