SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Classify decision weight (Light/Medium/Complete) and adjust gate depth accordingly so every decision receives the appropriate level of scrutiny without over-engineering.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • All seven gates run at the depth dictated by the selected weight, ensuring consistent rigor.
  • Dynamically calibrates effort based on impact, reversibility, and domain expertise.
  • Generates a structured decision artifact and supports mid-process upgrades if needed.
  • Use Case: Rapidly decide between a reversible product tweak and a major strategic pivot, then document criteria and exit conditions.

Quick Start

Describe a decision and its context to begin a weight-based analysis.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I match decision-making rigor to the stakes of a project?

A weight-based decision framework classifies choices as Light, Medium, or Complete to align governance gate depth with stakes. It dynamically calibrates scrutiny based on impact, reversibility, and domain expertise to prevent over-engineering low-risk choices.

How do I calibrate governance gates for different types of decisions?

Calibrate governance gates by ranking decision weight to align gate depth with resource constraints. The framework runs all seven gates at the depth dictated by the selected weight, ensuring consistent rigor across varying decisions from quick go/no-go choices to strategic bets.

When should I use a lightweight decision framework versus a complete governance process?

Use a lightweight framework for rapid, reversible product tweaks and a complete process for long-term strategic bets. The weight classification system dynamically adjusts gate depth based on impact, reversibility, and domain expertise to match the specific stakes.

What's the best way to document decision criteria and exit conditions for a strategic pivot?

The best way to document decision criteria and exit conditions is applying a weight-based framework that generates a structured decision artifact. This records the criteria, exit conditions, and supports mid-process upgrades if the strategic pivot requires increased scrutiny.

Can I upgrade the decision gate depth mid-process if project risks increase?

Yes, you can upgrade decision gate depth mid-process if project risks increase. The weight classification framework supports mid-process upgrades, allowing you to elevate scrutiny and apply deeper governance gates as resource constraints or impact levels shift.
