Why use it
For recording an important decision so you can revisit it later: with options, risks and a review date.

Short example
Decision: move to another city or stay; constraint: I must decide by the end of the month.
What to expect
A table of three options (pros, cons, key assumptions, worst realistic outcome) and a five-line entry: decision, reason, expected result, risks, review date.
Precautions and tips
- It will not decide for you; it lays out the trade-offs.
- Mark assumptions, and on the review date add the actual result to the entry.
- Avoid putting more personal or financial detail in than needed.
