Some decisions are difficult because you need more information.
Others are difficult because there is no option without a cost.
Define the real decision
Write the choice in one sentence. Complex decisions often become harder because several separate issues have been bundled together.
Identify what matters most
Which values, outcomes or constraints should carry the most weight? Not every consideration deserves equal influence.
Separate facts from predictions
Notice which parts of your reasoning are known and which are assumptions about what might happen.
Ask what is reversible
A reversible experiment may let you learn without making a permanent commitment.
Accept trade-offs
A good decision does not always feel comfortable. Sometimes clarity comes from deciding which downside you are willing to accept.
Create a review point
Decide when you will review the result and what evidence you will use.
