01 / The actual decision
What action are you choosing, and by when? Keep this separate from larger questions you do not need to resolve today.
02 / Your first preference
What attracts or concerns you? Acknowledge the impression without treating it as a guarantee.
03 / Requirements and limits
What must be true for an option to work? Consider time, access, responsibilities, and relevant safety needs.
04 / A genuine alternative
What other option could serve the purpose? Compare it using the same relevant standards.
05 / The fact that could change things
Which missing detail would actually affect your answer? Identify an appropriate way to check it.
06 / Your next step
Choose an action that matches the stakes and what you know. Check whether a proposed trial is genuinely reversible.
07 / A stopping rule and a review
When will you stop gathering information? What new evidence or changed circumstance would justify reopening the choice?
For personal reflection. Keep sensitive information private and use qualified support for consequential concerns.
