FRAMEWORKS
The point is not agreement. It is seeing exactly where the judgment lives.
01 — DECISION DECOMPOSITION
Name the outcome, the evidence, who pays, who gains, and the tradeoff the room is accepting.
Outcome
Evidence & assumptions
Incentives & risk
Accepted tradeoff
Use it in the Lab
02 — CONTROL × PERSISTENCE
Is the driver recurring? Can the plan influence it? The intersection tells you where to spend attention.
PERSISTENT + CONTROLLABLE
Persistent + controllable — Act.
PERSISTENT + LESS CONTROLLABLE
Persistent + less controllable — Price or finance.
TEMPORARY + CONTROLLABLE
Temporary + controllable — Monitor.
TEMPORARY + LESS CONTROLLABLE
Temporary + less controllable — Do not overreact.

One question.
One decision rule.
One limitation.
Now the room has something real to argue about.
