DECISION PROCESS
Early prototype

Welcome

Take a few minutes to think through one real decision you're facing. We'll help you clarify what matters, what constrains you, what you currently think is happening, what you expect, and what you'll do. This is an early prototype and your experience and feedback will help shape what it becomes.

Before you begin

Choose something important enough that you genuinely care about the outcome.

We do not collect or transmit your personal information or the content of your decision during the process. Your answers stay in your browser and are used only to complete the flow and prepare your optional calendar reminder.

At the end, you can choose to send feedback about the experience. Only the feedback you intentionally submit is shared with us.

Welcome
Step 1 of 8

What are you deciding?

Focus on one important decision that is in front of you right now.

What important decision is in front of you?

How clear does this decision feel right now?

1 / 8
Step 2 of 8

What are you trying to achieve?

Make the outcome you care about explicit before thinking about solutions.

What matters most?

What would success look like?

Step 3 of 8

What constrains your decision?

Make the boundaries visible. Constraints shape which options are genuinely available.

What is non-negotiable right now?

If nothing is truly non-negotiable, write “None”.

Which boundaries could be challenged or changed?

Step 4 of 8

What do you currently think is happening?

Make your current understanding explicit. It does not need to be certain — it needs to be inspectable.

What do you currently think is happening that makes this decision necessary?

How confident are you?

What evidence or experience supports that view?

What evidence would make you change your mind?

Step 5 of 8

What are your real options?

Don't assume there is only one path. Consider alternatives within — and sometimes around — your constraints.

Add at least three distinct options. Option D is optional.

A
B
C
D

Which option are you currently leaning toward?

This is only your current leaning. You can choose differently after reviewing the full decision.

Step 6 of 8

What do you expect to happen?

Tie an expectation to a specific option so reality can later confirm or challenge your reasoning.

Which option is this prediction about?

If you choose this option, what do you expect to happen?

What would you expect to observe if you're right?

By when?

Step 7 of 8

Review, then choose.

Look at the decision as a whole before committing. Your earlier leaning is intentionally not shown here.

My decision

Why this decision?

Step 8 of 8

Make it real.

A decision becomes meaningful when it changes what someone will do — and becomes learnable when you return to evaluate it.

What will you actually do next?

Who owns this action?

By when?

When should this decision be evaluated?

This date is used to prepare an optional future decision-review reminder.

What should you reflect on then?

Prototype feedback

Tell us about the experience.

The decision review happens later. For now, this feedback helps us understand whether the process itself created value.

How clear does the decision feel now?

How useful was this decision process?

Did the process help you notice something about the decision that you had not considered before?

Would you use this again for another important decision?

What was the most valuable part of the process?

What would you change, remove or add?
