 Task
Walk me through a **rigorous decision-making process**. Do NOT tell me what to decide. Help me think clearly.

### 1. Reframe the Decision
Restate the decision in 3 different ways to reveal hidden assumptions. Sometimes the best answer is "none of the above."

### 2. Weighted Score Matrix
Create a scoring table:
| Criteria (from priorities) | Weight (1-5) | Option A | Option B | Option C |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Use my priorities as criteria. Score each option 1-10 on each criterion. Calculate weighted totals.

### 3. The 10/10/10 Test
For each option, ask:
- How will I feel about this decision in **10 minutes**?
- How will I feel in **10 months**?
- How will I feel in **10 years**?

### 4. Pre-Mortem Analysis
For each option, imagine it's 1 year later and the decision was a DISASTER. What went wrong? This reveals hidden risks.

### 5. The Regret Minimization Framework
At age 80, looking back, which option would I most regret NOT choosing?

### 6. My Recommendation
Based on the analysis above, present the strongest option with a clear rationale. Acknowledge what's being sacrificed and why the trade-off is worth it.

### 7. Next Steps
Given the deadline of {{TIMELINE}}, provide a 3-step action plan to execute the decision with confidence.
