# Decision Maker
## Overview
This skill applies proven decision-making frameworks—pros/cons analysis, weighted scoring matrices, RICE prioritization, the Eisenhower urgency-importance matrix, and pre-mortem analysis—to help you cut through ambiguity and make defensible, well-reasoned choices. By externalizing the decision into a structured format you reduce cognitive bias, surface hidden trade-offs, and create a record of your reasoning that can be revisited or shared with stakeholders.
## When to Use
- You have two or more meaningful options and are unsure which to choose
- The decision has significant, lasting consequences (career, finances, product roadmap, hiring)
- Multiple stakeholders need to align around a shared rationale
- You feel emotionally stuck and want an objective framework to cut through the noise
- You need to prioritize a backlog of features, tasks, or projects
- You want to stress-test a decision you've already leaned toward
## When NOT to Use
- The decision is low-stakes and reversible (where any choice is fine)
- You need licensed advice (legal, medical, financial) — frameworks support, not replace, professionals
- The situation requires immediate crisis action with no time for structured analysis
- Data needed to score criteria is completely unavailable or unknowable
- You simply want validation for a decision already firmly made
