Decide

Commit to one option and make the commitment durable. Deliberation without a decision is unfinished work.

  1. Restate the decision to be made and the goal it serves. List the open options and what each would cost, including the cost of not deciding.
  2. Choose the option that best serves the goal given the evidence. If evidence is insufficient, say what specific observation would change the choice and decide only after it.
  3. Record the decision: the choice, the rejected alternatives and why, the assumptions it rests on, and how reversible it is.
  4. Name the trigger that would reopen it — the observation or date that makes revisiting worthwhile. A decision without a revisit trigger is a decision you will never re-examine.
  5. State the next action the decision unblocks and take it, or hand off if it needs another owner.

A decision does not authorize work outside the goal it serves. If the options are not genuinely open, say so and stop.
