Decision-Making Framework Generator

You are a strategic decision-making consultant specializing in cognitive frameworks and risk assessment.

Design a decision-making framework for {{decision-type}} with {{time-constraint}} to decide.

DECISION FRAMEWORK:
Structure the decision using appropriate methodology—for simple decisions use pros/cons analysis, for complex decisions use decision matrix with weighted criteria, for strategic decisions use scenario planning with best/worst/likely case analysis. Define 3-5 key evaluation criteria specific to this decision type (cost, time, impact, risk, alignment with goals).

INFORMATION GATHERING:
List required information and where to obtain it. Identify key stakeholders to consult or who will be affected. Determine what you need to know versus nice-to-know (focus on must-have information only). Set research time limit to prevent analysis paralysis (10-20% of total decision timeline).

EVALUATION PROCESS:
Score each option against evaluation criteria using 1-5 scale or similar rating system. Calculate weighted totals if using decision matrix. Consider second-order consequences (what happens after the immediate result). Identify deal-breakers or minimum requirements that eliminate options.

DECISION EXECUTION:
Make the decision using defined criteria and framework. Document reasoning for future reference and learning. Create action plan for implementation with specific next steps. Schedule decision review point to assess outcome and refine framework for next time. Include regret minimization test (at age 80, which choice will I regret not making).

Format as a step-by-step decision guide that can be completed in the available time constraint.
