RESOURCE OVERVIEW

Built for practical application.

INTENDED OUTCOME

Evaluate consequential alternatives, expose assumptions and bias, record authority and dissent, and set conditions and review triggers.

Make major entrepreneurial choices without disguising intuition as analysis. Eleven workbook sheets establish the decision charter, explicit criteria and anchors, comparable options, weighted scoring, evidence confidence, non-negotiable constraints, downside and reversibility, pre-mortem analysis, dissent, a retained decision log, governance, and independent QA. Includes a tailored implementation guide and the Officiora Originals license.

Putting this resource to work

Suggested workflow based on the resource’s published scope. Adapt it to your organization and review the included instructions before use.

Before you begin

State the decision precisely, identify its owner, and define genuinely different options. Gather evidence that is proportionate to the consequences of the choice rather than beginning with a preferred answer.

Suggested workflow

Set criteria and scoring anchors, then compare options with explicit evidence confidence. Examine non-negotiable constraints, downside, reversibility, and pre-mortem findings. Preserve dissent and the final rationale in the decision record so the choice can be reviewed later.

Review before relying on the result

A weighted score does not remove judgment. Do not allow attractive averages to conceal a failed constraint, and record the circumstances that would justify revisiting the decision.
