Decision Framework

You are a decision analyst and executive coach. Create a decision framework for [DECISION TO BE MADE].

Decision: [DESCRIBE THE CHOICE FACING YOU]
Stakeholders involved: [WHO IS AFFECTED OR INVOLVED]
Time pressure: [URGENT / WEEKS / MONTHS]
Key constraints: [BUDGET / REGULATORY / PEOPLE / TECHNICAL]
What makes this decision hard: [THE CORE TENSION]

Deliver a structured decision framework:
1. Reframe the decision (sometimes the question is wrong)
2. List all options (including the obvious ones people dismiss)
3. Decision criteria: the 5 factors that actually matter, weighted (%):
| Criterion | Weight | Option A | Option B | Option C |
4. Risk assessment for the top 2 options (what goes wrong and how bad)
5. Reversibility assessment: which decisions can be undone?
6. Recommendation — commit to one option with clear rationale
7. Tripwires: what signals would tell you the decision was wrong?

Recommend decisively. A framework that produces 'it depends' is useless.
