To mitigate cognitive bias in high-stakes decision-making, apply Kahneman's Dual-Process Theory to identify whether System 1 intuition or System 2 deliberate analysis should drive the choice, using a structured override protocol to engage careful reasoning.

The structured override protocol for engaging System 2 analysis follows five sequential steps: PAUSE, ARTICULATE, ANALYZE, CHECK, and DECIDE, ensuring deliberate reasoning is captured before finalizing complex choices.

You should rely on System 1 intuition for routine choices and switch to System 2 deliberate analysis during high-stakes decisions, cognitive-bias mitigation, coaching, and decision audits across domains like code reviews and project planning.

To conduct a decision audit for project planning and hiring, evaluate whether System 1 or System 2 drove the current decision, then apply the PAUSE to DECIDE override protocol to capture reasoning and check for cognitive bias.

Yes, you can use this dual-process approach for coaching and training across domains like code reviews, project planning, and hiring, as it provides reasoning capture and a structured override protocol to guide high-stakes decision-making.

A limitation of using dual-process theory for decision-making is that relying on System 1 intuition can introduce cognitive bias in high-stakes scenarios, requiring a deliberate override protocol to pause, articulate, analyze, check, and decide.
