Decision Making Framework

Help me make a decision about: {{decision}}

Context: {{context}}
Stakeholders: {{stakeholders}}
Timeline: {{deadline}}
Reversibility: {{reversibility}}

Walk me through a structured decision process:

1. **Frame the decision**: What exactly are we deciding? (Not the symptom, the actual choice)

2. **Options inventory** (list all viable options, including "do nothing"):
   For each option:
   - What it is
   - Key advantages
   - Key risks/downsides
   - Resource requirements (time, money, people)
   - Dependencies and prerequisites

3. **Evaluation criteria** (weighted):
   | Criterion | Weight (1-5) | Option A | Option B | Option C |
   Rate each option against each criterion (1-5)
   Calculate weighted scores

4. **Second-order effects**: For the top 2 options, what happens AFTER the decision?
   - 1 month later: [impact]
   - 6 months later: [impact]
   - What new problems does this create?

5. **Pre-mortem**: "It's 6 months from now and this decision failed. What went wrong?"

6. **Reversibility check**: How hard is it to undo each option?

7. **Recommendation**: Based on the analysis, here's what I'd do and why

8. **Decision record**: Template to document the decision for future reference
