Decide
Analysis is done. Time to commit.
Based on the synthesis above, force a decision. The goal is to stop analyzing and start acting.
Structure
Decision
State what you're going to do. One sentence, direct, unhedged.
Not "I'm leaning toward X" or "X seems best." Just: "I will do X."
Confidence
High / Medium / Low
And briefly why. What would make this higher? What's creating doubt?
Reversal Triggers
What specific new information or outcomes would make you revisit this decision? Be concrete:
- •Not "if things change"
- •Yes "if customer churn exceeds 5% in the first month" or "if the security audit surfaces critical findings"
Next Action
What's the single next step to execute this decision? Something you can do today or tomorrow, not a project plan.
If you're not ready to decide, say so directly and identify what's blocking commitment. Then either:
- •Run additional analysis on the blocking issue
- •Accept that you're deciding under uncertainty (most real decisions are)
Do not use this as another round of analysis. Decide or explicitly defer.
