From the book’s closing pages

Put the book to work.

Four practical ways to challenge a proposed decision, make its commercial implications visible, and establish how the team will revisit it.

01

The Blind Spot Check

Seven questions to challenge the conditions behind a choice.

02

The Decision Brief

A reusable record for alternatives, economics and decision rights.

03

The Investment Reality Check

A hypothetical worked example connecting evidence, cost and exposure.

04

The Action Review

Team review with someone able to act.

These are four parts of one nine-page companion, not four separate downloads. They are working aids, not a validated diagnostic or scoring system.

A look inside

One decision. A clearer record.

The seven conditions examine the setting around a decision. Six record fields organize the choice itself, including alternatives, evidence, responsibilities and review conditions.

Start with a real business choice. Mark unknown information and unresolved decision rights instead of filling every blank for the sake of completion.
