About
Decision Analysis
Use this skill when a coding choice has multiple plausible options and the tradeoff should survive review.
Workflow
- State the decision needed, decision owner, scope, and deadline.
- List viable alternatives, including "do nothing" when realistic.
- Define criteria before choosing; include user impact, risk, cost, reversibility, maintainability, and verification burden.
- Weight or rank criteria when tradeoffs are not obvious.
- Compare alternatives against the same criteria using evidence, assumptions, and uncertainties.
- Select an option only after the matrix is visible.
- Record rationale, dissent or weak evidence, follow-up verification, and a revisit trigger.
- Output a decision record: decision, alternatives, criteria, evidence matrix, selected option, rationale, risks, verification burden, revisit trigger.
Source grounding
Start with references/source-grounding.md, then inspect Section 6.8 pages extraction/pages/page_174.md through extraction/pages/page_180.md before making NASA-handbook-derived decision-analysis claims.
