Action Options and Tradeoffs Map

REFLECTION & DECISION SUPPORT TOOLS

Optional client-owned prompts; use, adapt, reorder, or skip based on context.

Using This Optional Tool

This tool offers optional prompts to generate client-owned action, pause, support, and no-change options with evidence, constraints, and tradeoffs without fixed categories, order, honesty, drift, conflict, or leverage claims. Its fields are prompts, not findings, requirements, professional advice, or a complete model of the situation.

Use the client's own words. Separate direct observations and sources from interpretations, assumptions, predictions, and unknowns. Any field can be renamed, reordered, repeated, left blank, revisited, or discarded.

How to Use Action Options and Tradeoffs Map

Choose one relevant situation or question, or skip the tool.
Use only the prompts that fit the client's goal, language, access needs, consent, privacy, and context.
Record evidence, interpretations, and unknowns separately; no response proves a cause, trait, score, priority, or outcome.
Keep any question, experiment, support, referral, action, or no action optional and client-owned.

Choice and Support Boundary

Optional coaching reflection, not therapy, diagnosis, medical care, a validated assessment, or business, financial, tax, accounting, investment, legal, employment, or relationship advice. Skip, adapt, or stop. Do not infer a cause, condition, trait, motive, truth, score, risk, priority, or required response from an answer, blank, label, difficulty, repetition, or estimate. Preserve privacy, consent, access, culture, power, context, and uncertainty; use qualified or emergency support for unsafe, severe, or out-of-scope concerns.
