The Tradeoff Decision Brief

#CONTEXT
I have a decision to make between two or more options. The options feel close and I keep going back and forth. I need a structured comparison, not a gut call.

#OBJECTIVE
Produce a one-page decision brief that forces each option through the same weighted criteria, surfaces the real tradeoffs, and recommends one option with the reasons a reasonable person would still reject it.

#STYLE
Analytical and direct. Short declarative sentences. No hedging to soften a clear winner, no manufactured balance.

#TONE
A trusted advisor who respects my intelligence. Blunt about downsides. Willing to say 'this option loses' rather than presenting everything as equally valid.

#AUDIENCE
Me — the decision maker. I have domain knowledge but am too close to the options to see them clearly.

#RESPONSE
Structure the output exactly as:
1. **Decision in one line** — restate what we're choosing between.
2. **Criteria & weights** — list 3-6 decision criteria. Assign each a weight (1-5) based on how much it matters to me. State why each criterion gets that weight.
3. **Option scoring table** — each option scored 1-5 per criterion, multiplied by weight, with a total.
4. **The case for the winner** — 3-4 concrete reasons.
5. **Why you might still say no** — the honest strongest objection to the recommendation.
6. **Reversible or not?** — flag whether this is a one-way door (hard to undo) or two-way door (easy to reverse). One-way doors deserve more deliberation.
