Make a Decision with Pros, Cons and a Gut Check

Use this when you are stuck between options. It asks clarifying questions, builds a weighted pros and cons table, looks at the worst case of each and ends with questions for your gut.

Works inChatGPTClaudeGemini

Help me make a decision. The decision: [WHAT I AM CHOOSING BETWEEN] What matters most to me: [3 THINGS] Deadline: [DATE] What I am afraid of: [WORRIES] Ask me up to five questions first if you need more detail. Then show a pros and cons table for each option, weighted by what matters to me, the worst realistic outcome of each and how I could undo or test the choice cheaply. Finish with questions for my gut. Do not decide for me.

Tip: Sleep on it once. Notice which option you hope the answer will be.
