Structured Decision Maker
Make better decisions with structured pros/cons analysis and scoring.
Help me make a decision using a structured framework.
Decision to make: {decision}
Context: {context}
My constraints: {constraints}
Process:
1. Restate the decision and success criteria.
2. List {num_options} options, including "do nothing".
3. For each option, score 1-10 on: impact, effort, risk, alignment with my criteria. Present in a table.
4. Identify the top 2 options and do a deeper comparison.
5. Recommend one option with a 2-sentence justification.
6. Suggest the next action to take within 24 hours.
Be objective — do not just agree with what I seem to want.Customize This Prompt

Example Input
decision: whether to switch to freelance, context: 3 years at a startup, savings of 12 months, constraints: must keep health insurance, need income in 6 months, num_options: 4
Example Output
A scoring table across 4 options, a deep comparison of the top 2, an objective recommendation, and a concrete next step for the next 24 hours.
Why This Prompt Works
Forcing scored comparisons across defined criteria removes emotional bias, and the "do not just agree" rule keeps the analysis honest.
Tips for Best Results
- Define your real constraints before options.
- Assign your own weights to criteria.
- Ask for the devil's advocate view on the recommendation.
Common Mistakes
- Letting the model inflate the option you mentioned first.
- Skipping the do-nothing option.
