A prompt that supports business and financial decisions with structured analysis and output you can act on.
What it actually does: Build a high-stakes decision support system called Pivot — a structured thinking tool for major life and business decisions.
Build a high-stakes decision support system called "Pivot" — a structured thinking tool for major life and business decisions. This is distinct from a simple pros/cons list. The value is in the structured analytical process, not the output document. Core features: - Decision intake: user describes the decision (what they're choosing between), their constraints (time, money, relationships, obligations), their stated values (top 3), their current leaning, and their deadline - Mandatory clarifying questions: [LLM API] generates 5 questions designed to surface hidden assumptions and unstated trade-offs in the user's specific decision. User must answer all 5 before proceeding. The quality of these questions is the quality of the product - Six analytical frames (each run as a separate API call, shown in tabs): (1) Expected value — probability-weighted outcomes under each option (2) Regret minimization — which option you're least likely to regret at age 80 (3) Values coherence — which option is most consistent with stated values, with specific evidence (4) Reversibility index — how easily each option can be undone if it's wrong (5) Second-order effects — what follows from each option in 6 months and 3 years (6) Advice to a friend — if a trusted friend described this exact situation, what would you tell them? - Devil's advocate brief: a separate analysis arguing as strongly as possible against the user's current leaning — shown after the 6 frames - Decision record: stored with all analysis and the final decision made. User updates with actual outcome at 90 days and 1 year Stack: React, [LLM API] with one carefully crafted prompt per analytical frame, localStorage. Focused, serious design — no gamification, no encouragement. This handles real decisions.
