Stress-test a decision before you commit — then get a one-screen card.
Frame
What are you actually deciding?
State it as a real choice. "Should I X or Y", or a single call you're about to make.
Gate
How hard is this to undo?
Size the undo cost first. Reversible calls deserve speed; irreversible ones earn the full, cold pass.
Reversible
Fixable in days or weeks. Low cost to back out.
Irreversible
Money committed, public promise, or reputation on the line.
Look
Get real numbers before you reason.
If a fact lives in your data, history, or repo — go read it. Separate what you actually know from what you're guessing.
Rule: a number you can look up beats a number you argue toward. Turn a guess into a test wherever you can.
Reshape
Invent a cheaper third option.
Before choosing A or B, find option C: the smaller first step that tests the core assumption — or a reversible pilot of an irreversible plan.
The best third option turns an irreversible bet into a reversible experiment. If you found one, it's usually your DO THIS NEXT.
Attack
Try to kill your own answer.
Challenge the requirement. Check the arithmetic. Reverse the deal — would you take the other side? Only what survives this is worth acting on.
Irreversible → cold-adversary pass: argue the opposite case as if it were yours, with no stated preference. If your answer only wins when you're rooting for it, it isn't ready.
It survives
The attack didn't break it.
It changed
The attack reshaped the call.
Card
Your decision card
Answer first. A real confidence number, and the case against — in one screen.

The loop
Five moves. Each one earns the next.
Gate — size the undo cost first. Reversible gets speed; irreversible gets the full pass.
Look — read the real numbers instead of reasoning around them. Turn guesses into tests.
Reshape — invent a cheaper third option before choosing A or B.
Attack — try to kill your own answer. Reverse the deal. Only what survives ships.
Card — answer first, a real confidence number, and the case against — on one screen.
