Decision-Making Framework
Decision-Making Framework
A structured process to make decisions by analyzing benefits and costs in detail, considering worst-case, most-likely, and best-case scenarios.
Traditional Approach to Decision-Making
Traditional Approach to Decision-Making
The traditional way of making decisions, often based on intuition and a quick comparison of benefits and costs. It can miss important details.
Granularity in Decision-Making

Study Notes
Decision-Making Framework
- The framework aids in complex decision-making by systematically analyzing potential benefits and costs.
- Traditional methods often rely on intuition, potentially overlooking crucial underlying factors.
- The framework's benefits include granular analysis, outcome perspective, and enhanced decision-making.
Applying the Framework
- Example: Moving Jobs
- Benefits:
- Worst Case: Small pay rise, shorter commute, some stock options, occasional freelancing.
- Most Likely: Increased responsibility, promotion, team leadership, local team retreats.
- Best Case: Significant pay rise, strong promotion opportunities, company exits (stock cash-out), annual all-expenses-paid team retreats.
- Costs:
- Worst Case: No pay rise, no stock options, zero job satisfaction, longer work hours.
- Most Likely: Unfamiliar surroundings, leaving behind old co-workers, slightly longer commute, earlier start time at the office.
- Best Case: Minimal disruption to personal life, new challenges, potential for personal growth, learning new skills.
- Benefits:
Decision Algorithm
- The decision rule suggests pursuing a choice if the worst-case benefit outweighs the worst-case cost, and the best-case benefit significantly exceeds the worst-case benefit. Otherwise, re-evaluate the options.
Conclusion
- The framework offers a structured method for thorough decision evaluation.
- Experimentation with the framework for various choices will show its impact on decision-making.
