Decision Frameworks

Situation	Framework
Challenge assumptions	First Principles
Find root cause	5 Whys
Prioritize tasks	Eisenhower Matrix
Focus effort	Pareto 80/20
Identify risks	Inversion
Map consequences	Second-Order Thinking
Compare options	Decision Matrix

Processes

First Principles: State problem → list assumptions → challenge each → identify fundamentals → build from truths.

5 Whys: State problem → ask "why?" iteratively → verify chain backwards → act on deepest cause.

Eisenhower: Urgent+Important (do), Not-Urgent+Important (schedule), Urgent+Not-Important (delegate), Neither (eliminate).

Pareto: List items → measure impact → sort → find ~20% driving ~80% → focus there.

Inversion: State goal → "what guarantees failure?" → list failure modes → invert into prevention.

Second-Order: Map effects → map what THOSE cause → find hidden costs → decide with full picture.

Decision Matrix: List options → weighted criteria → score each → sum → sanity check winner.
