Decision Making Framework

Education & Learningchain-of-thought-promptingdecision_descriptionoptionspriorities

Multi-criteria decisions benefit from structured decomposition. Forcing second-order thinking and risk assessment prevents the model from anchoring on the most obvious choice.

Prompt
Help me make a decision by thinking through it systematically.

Decision: {{decision_description}}
Options: {{options}}
Key priorities: {{priorities}}

Analyze this step by step:
1. Restate the decision and what a good outcome looks like
2. For each option, list the pros and cons relative to my priorities
3. Identify risks and unknowns for each option
4. Consider second-order effects (what happens 6-12 months after choosing each option)
5. Weigh the trade-offs and recommend the best option with your reasoning
