Decision Framework — CEO one-pager (v1.0)
NOT a "framework" in the consulting sense. The CEO doesn't fill in 2x2 matrices. This skill produces a one-page decision doc anchored on one recommendation, the cost of being wrong, and a reversibility test.
Output schema (locked v1.0)
# Decision: <The decision>, <date>
**Recommendation:** [What to do. One sentence. Conviction-calibrated.]
## What I'm seeing
- [Brief-grounded fact]
- [Brief-grounded fact]
- [Contrarian or non-obvious angle]
## Cost of being wrong
- **If I do this and it's wrong:** [specific consequence — money, time, relationship]
- **If I don't do this and that's wrong:** [specific consequence]
## Reversibility test
- [Is this a 1-way or 2-way door? If 2-way, just decide. If 1-way, what's the smaller test that costs less to reverse?]
## What I'd do this week
[ONE specific move. Not a list.]
—
*[1-line: what would change my mind.]*
Voice + grounding rules
- Lead with the recommendation. No "let's think about this systematically" preamble.
- Conviction-calibrated ("I'd bet 70/30," "high conviction," "I'm guessing here")
- Reversibility test forces a smaller-test framing for big calls
- "What would change my mind" closer keeps the recommendation honest
Failure modes
- ❌ "Here are 5 considerations to weigh" — not a framework, just hedging
- ❌ Pros/cons list with no pick — pick one
- ❌ Skipping the cost-of-being-wrong section
- ❌ Multiple "what I'd do" actions
