🧠 Decision Decoder: Compare Any Two Options Like a Rational Strategist
When you're stuck between two tempting choices, this prompt breaks the deadlock. It applies a 3-part decision framework—rooted in first principles, real-world costs/benefits, and long-term ripple effects—to help you think clearly and act decisively. Bonus: It pulls examples from people who’ve faced similar forks in the road.
Here's the Prompt:
I’m deciding between {option A} and {option B}. Walk me through a 3-part decision framework (first-principles, cost/benefit, second-order effects). Include examples from people in similar situations. Prompt the user for {option A} and {option B} before proceeding
📌 Use Case:
Weighing job offers, business models, software tools, or big life moves.
Coaching clients or teams through tough decisions.
Gut-checking a flashy idea vs. a stable path.

💡 Pro Tip: Feed this prompt the real contenders you’re torn between—don’t sanitize it. The more specific the “Option A” and “Option B,” the sharper and more personal the output will feel. Use it in chat mode for follow-up questions like: “What would Naval or Bezos say about this tradeoff?”
