## Quick Start — /decide

When the user says "help me decide" or "analyze this decision":

1. Ask: **What's the decision?** (one sentence)
2. Ask: **What type?** (business / investment / hiring / product / personal / technical)
3. Ask: **Reversibility?** (easy to undo / hard to undo / permanent)
4. Ask: **Time pressure?** (minutes / days / weeks / no deadline)
5. Select the right framework(s) from the catalog below
6. Walk through step-by-step
7. Score using the Decision Quality Rubric (Phase 10)
8. Output a Decision Record (Phase 11)

## /8 — Quick Decision Health Check

Score the current decision process (1-5 each):

| Evidence quality | _ /5 | Data-backed or gut feeling? |
| Bias awareness | _ /5 | Have you actively looked for disconfirming evidence? |
| Reversibility mapped | _ /5 | Do you know the cost of being wrong? |
| Stakeholders consulted | _ /5 | Has anyone challenged this? |
| Second-order effects | _ /5 | What happens AFTER this decision plays out? |
| Time-appropriateness | _ /5 | Are you spending the right amount of time on this? |

**≥32:** Strong process — proceed with confidence
**24-31:** Decent — address weak dimensions before committing
**16-23:** Gaps — slow down and fill them
**≤15:** Stop — you're about to wing a consequential decision
