Decision Spread
A fork held open: the question at the center, then each path with its tendency. The spread will not choose for you — it makes the two futures concrete enough that your own preference stops hiding.
When it helps: Two real options, both defensible, and a deadline.
The positions
- 1
The Question
What is actually being decided — often slightly different from the question you brought.
- 2
Path A
The character of the first path — what saying yes to it feels like from inside.
- 3
Path A Outcome
Where the first path tends — its lean, not its guarantee.
- 4
Path B
The character of the second path.
- 5
Path B Outcome
Where the second path tends.
