Decision clarity matrix
Sitting with a decision you can't shake? Score up to four options across the five dimensions that quietly drive whether a decision goes well — reversibility, upside, downside, time cost, and emotional noise — and see which option to bet on first.
Educational thinking aid. Not advice for your specific situation.
Who this is for
Adults sitting with a medium-stakes decision — job change, business move, relationship, location — and wanting to slow down before committing.
How to use the result
The top option is your first experiment, not your final answer. Run the smallest reversible version for two weeks before locking anything irreversible.
What this tool can't tell you
It can't predict the future. The exercise surfaces your thinking; it doesn't replace the conversation with someone who's done this before.
