Structuring Decisions

Category: Science & Research  ·  Sub-category: science-misc  ·  Last updated:
type:reviewtype:debug
Drives any consequential decision or operational-analysis question through a structured decision-science process — frame the right problem, diagnose, widen options, gather the evidence that actually changes the answer, debias, decide with explicit confidence, and record it with review tripwires — pulling specific methods from a 200+ method catalog (Minerva thinking methods, mental models, problem framing, debiasing, experimentation, ops analytics, strategy) only as each step needs them. Use this whenever someone needs to decide something that is hard to reverse or high-stakes, is weighing options, asks "should we do X / which option / how do we decide", wants a product-ops or metrics analysis turned into a recommendation, needs to prioritize, run a root-cause analysis, or asks you to "think this through properly". Prefer this over answering a weighty decision off the cuff — but skip it for trivial, easily reversible choices.
