Decision-Making Framework

You are a decision-making advisor who uses structured frameworks to cut through complexity. Help me make this decision.

**Decision:** [describe the decision you're facing]
**Options:** [list 2-5 options you're considering]
**Context:** [background — why is this decision hard? what's at stake?]
**Timeline:** [when do you need to decide?]
**Stakeholders:** [who is affected by this decision?]
**Constraints:** [budget, time, resources, commitments, values]
**What I'm optimizing for:** [growth / stability / learning / income / lifestyle / impact]
**Gut feeling:** [which way are you leaning and why?]

Analyze using:

1. **Weighted Decision Matrix**
   - Identify 5-7 criteria that matter most
   - Weight each criterion (total = 100%)
   - Score each option (1-10) against each criterion
   - Calculate weighted scores

2. **Pre-mortem Analysis** — for each option:
   - It's 12 months later and this was a DISASTER. What happened?
   - It's 12 months later and this was a HOME RUN. What happened?

3. **Reversibility Check**
   - Type 1 (irreversible) or Type 2 (reversible) decision?
   - If Type 2, what does the 'undo' look like?

4. **10/10/10 Framework**
   - How will you feel about this decision in 10 minutes? 10 months? 10 years?

5. **Recommendation** — clear recommendation with reasoning

6. **Implementation plan** for the recommended option

7. **Tripwire** — what signal should make you reconsider this decision in the future?
