Start with the decision-making cluster if you want the method, or jump straight to the situation you are in. Every guide covers the same ground a good scenario comparison would: what makes the decision hard, what is fact versus assumption, what is reversible, what the realistic downside is, and what you can test before committing.
Decision making
The methods that apply to any high-stakes choice: framing, reversibility, opportunity cost, and testing assumptions before committing.
- How to make a major life decisionThe cornerstone framework — from one-sentence framing to a 12-point pre-decision checklist.
- How to choose between two optionsA ten-step comparison for close calls where both paths look reasonable.
- Reversible vs. irreversible decisionsHow much analysis a decision deserves, and how to make a one-way door less final.
- Test before you commitSmall experiments that resolve the assumptions your plan depends on.
- Why simulation beats the pro/con listWhat structured scenarios add to a two-column comparison.
- Decision-making glossaryPlain-English definitions: opportunity cost, sunk cost, sensitivity analysis and more.
Career decisions
Leaving, staying, retraining or moving for work — the decisions where income, identity and time all move at once.
Business decisions
Turning an idea or a side project into your income, without converting a flexible experiment into fixed obligations too early.
Housing and relocation
Where you live shapes cost, commute, support network and career options — and these are among the least reversible choices people make.
