Four parts, twelve worksheets, one page you keep
Every part ends with a worksheet you fill in using a decision you are actually facing, so the method is in your hands before you finish chapter two.
What a decision actually is
Why the hard decisions are hard: not missing facts, but unresolved trade-offs. You leave with the choice written down in one sentence.
Knowing when you have enough
How to tell that more research has stopped paying off, and how to stop gathering as a way of postponing the moment.
Making the call
A three-question test for committing, and the pre-mortem that makes a reversible decision cheap to get wrong.
Not reopening it
How to keep a decision closed without becoming rigid, and how to tell the difference between doubt and new evidence.
Twelve worksheets
From a two-page decision brief to a one-page risk map, each one filled in with a choice you are facing now.
The one-page checklist
The whole method on a single page you can print, keep on your desk, or open on your phone before a meeting.
