pm-decision-quality-audit

Provide the decision rationale, decision log, or retrospective to the assistant and request a decision quality audit. It evaluates the reasoning against seven principles — including resulting, reversibility matching, and bias detection — and returns severity-rated findings with concrete fixes.

The audit checks for confirmation bias, anchoring, framing effects, false consensus, hindsight bias, and sunk-cost escalation. Each flagged bias is named explicitly and paired with a structural countermeasure such as seeking disconfirming evidence or an outside reviewer.

Run it when reviewing a significant or hard-to-reverse decision, either before commitment or in a retrospective. It is not intended for everyday reversible choices, where fast low-deliberation calls are considered healthy decision-making.

No. Backlog ranking belongs to the prioritization rigor audit, metric validity to the OKR metric audit, and assumption testing to the assumption rigor audit. This audit covers only the decision process, biases, and documentation of reasoning.

It produces a severity-rated issue list grouped into Critical, Major, and Minor findings, plus a working-well section. Every report ends with the top three priorities, each paired with the specific question the team must answer.
