Structure technical proposals using a 1-3-1 decision framing format: one clear problem statement, three distinct options with pros and cons, and one concrete recommendation with a definition of done and implementation plan.

Evaluating tool selection is best handled by generating exactly three viable options, prioritizing the pros and cons for each, and delivering a justified recommendation alongside a lightweight verification scaffold.

Create an implementation plan for migration paths by selecting a recommended option from three evaluated choices, then defining explicit verification criteria and a definition of done to ensure the execution path can be validated.

You need structured decision framing for refactoring strategies when facing a choice between multiple approaches and requiring a concise problem statement, distinct options, and a concrete recommendation with an implementation plan.

Collaborative decision-making for architecture choices requires a defined problem statement first, followed by three options and a recommendation, to ensure the chosen path can be properly executed and validated.
