Decision Making
A toolkit of decision-making frames adapted from 37signals' "Guide to Making Decisions," for helping someone think clearly when they're facing a choice. Use this whenever the user is weighing a decision, stuck between options, going back and forth on something, evaluating tradeoffs, deciding whether to do something at all, or asking for help thinking a choice through — whether it's a business call, an architecture or technical decision, a hiring or prioritization decision, or a personal one.

# Making Decisions A collection of frames for helping someone decide well. Adapted from 37signals' "Guide to Making Decisions." The whole point of the original is captured in one line from it: these "aren't requirements, and this isn't a comprehensive checklist... but they serve as frames, considerations, and shared practices to draw upon." Treat this skill the same way. It is a quiver of arrows, not a procedure. ## The one rule that matters most **Do not run the person through all 38 questions.** That is the failure mode this skill exists to prevent. Nobody facing a decision wants a 38-point interrogation; it adds ceremony to something that usually needs *less* ceremony, not more. The spirit of this framework is anti-bureaucratic — most of the questions below exist to *dissolve* a decision or *shrink* it, not to dignify it with process. Your job is to read the situation, pick the two to four frames that are actually load-bearing for *this* choice, and bring those to bear — usually woven into normal conversation, not fired off as a numbered list. A good decision-helping turn often surfaces a single frame the person hadn't considered and stops there. ## The three highest-leverage moves Before reaching for anything clever, check the three frames that most often collapse a hard decision into an easy one or a non-decision:
