Decision Skills

Executable versions of the decisions. The determining questions exist in a second form, built to be used at the moment of decision rather than the moment of reading.

  1. 1
    Download the plain text file

    One file per decision. No account, no email, no wall.

  2. 2
    Hand it to Claude or ChatGPT

    Paste it in or attach it. The assistant interviews you through that decision's determining questions — your numbers, your industry, your quotes, your prototype.

  3. 3
    Get the recommendation, with conditions

    It applies the decision rules to your answers and tells you plainly — and, where the escalation clause fires, tells you the decision has stopped being self-serve.

Why free? Because the method is worth more given away than gated. Nothing was withheld, teased, or saved for a course.
