Turn AI Into Your Strategic Advisor for Any Decision

Stop asking AI for one answer. Make it argue both sides, find blind spots, and recommend.

Copy & Paste this prompt

I need to make a decision about [DECISION].

Context: [YOUR SITUATION — budget, timeline, goals, constraints]

Act as a strategic advisor. Analyze this by:

1. List 3 strongest arguments FOR
2. List 3 strongest arguments AGAINST
3. Identify 2 blind spots I might be missing
4. Rate the decision 1-10 for:
   - Risk level
   - Potential upside
   - Reversibility
5. Give your final recommendation with a clear "If X, do Y. If Z, do W" framework.

Be brutally honest. Challenge my assumptions.

✨ Example Output

Decision: "Should I quit my job to freelance?"

FOR:
1. Higher earning ceiling — top freelancers in your field charge 2-3x salary
2. Full autonomy — choose projects, schedule, clients
3. Diversified income — multiple clients vs single employer risk

AGAINST:
1. Loss of benefits — health insurance, 401k match, paid leave
2. Income instability — feast-or-famine cycles, especially year one
3. Isolation — no team, no mentorship, all decisions on you

BLIND SPOTS:
1. You're underestimating sales time — expect 30-40% of hours on non-billable work
2. Your current network is employer-dependent — test freelance demand before quitting

RATINGS: Risk: 7/10 | Upside: 8/10 | Reversibility: 6/10

RECOMMENDATION: If you have 6+ months expenses saved AND have landed 1-2 freelance clients while employed → go for it. If not → build a runway first.
