SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Founders and product leaders often face consequential choices with incomplete evidence, unclear trade-offs, and no structured way to compare options. This Skill turns a messy decision into a clear, evidence-labeled decision memo while keeping the final call with the human decision owner. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Decision Framing: Captures the decision owner, desired outcome, deadline, options in scope, and classifies each option as reversible, costly to reverse, or irreversible. - Decision Ledger: Records constraints, evidence with source and confidence, assumptions, downside, opportunity cost, and switching costs for every option. - Cheapest Decisive Test: When uncertainty blocks a choice, proposes the smallest reversible test with cost, duration, expected signal, and kill or pivot thresholds, requiring explicit approval before execution. - Use Case: A founder must choose between two pricing models before launch. The Skill builds a decision ledger from cited evidence, separates facts from inference, recommends one option with its key dissenting risk, and proposes a cheap validation test with a revisit date. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to compare your business options and produce a decision memo covering reversibility, evidence confidence, downside, opportunity cost, and a cheapest decisive test.

FAQPage Schema
How do I compare business options with incomplete evidence?▼

Frame the decision with its owner, outcome, and deadline, then build a decision ledger per option capturing evidence with source and confidence, assumptions, downside, and opportunity cost. Label inference separately from observed facts instead of pretending precision.

How to decide between reversible and irreversible product choices?▼

Classify each option as reversible, costly to reverse, or irreversible before comparing trade-offs. Irreversible options demand stronger evidence and a clearer downside analysis, while reversible ones can be decided faster with a revisit trigger.

What is a cheapest decisive test in decision making?▼

It is the smallest reversible experiment that can resolve the uncertainty blocking a decision. The proposal states the uncertainty, method, cost, duration, expected signal, and continue or kill thresholds, and requires explicit approval before execution.

When should I not use a decision comparison workflow?▼

Do not use it for customer problem discovery, technical architecture choices, or delivery planning. Those belong to product discovery, technical design, and project initiation workflows respectively, and this Skill hands them off rather than substituting for them.

Can the decision workflow execute tests or contact users automatically?▼

No. The Skill is stateless and advisory only. It never commits, publishes, purchases, contacts users, or runs experiments without explicit approval, and it stops after delivering the decision memo and recommendation.
