Decision Evidence and Options Grid

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 compare client-owned options, evidence, tradeoffs, uncertainty, and reversal conditions without a score or claim that arithmetic determines the decision. 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 Decision Evidence and Options Grid

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.

Decision Evidence and Options Grid

Use any field in any order. Rename, repeat, skip, or stop.

Decision or question

Use the client's current wording, or leave undecided.

Option or no-change path

List any number; do not force a binary choice.

Evidence and source

What is directly known, by whom, and as of when?

Benefits, costs, and tradeoffs

Client-owned possibilities, not weighted truth.

Decision Evidence and Options Grid continued

Use any field in any order. Rename, repeat, skip, or stop.

Constraints and affected people

Access, consent, timing, power, resources, and privacy.

Assumptions and unknowns

What is inferred, predicted, missing, or contested?

Reversal or review condition

What new evidence might invite reconsideration?

Optional next step

Research, seek advice, test, decide, defer, or make no change.

Optional review

What is directly observed, what remains interpreted or unknown, and which optional question, support, referral, experiment, or no next step feels useful?
