Individual Decision Record

A flight recorder for the decisions you own, so you can see your own pattern as a decider

Once you know how something turned out, you cannot reliably recover what you thought beforehand. This record captures your reasoning at the moment you decide, scores your confidence against what actually happens, and, across twenty entries, shows you the pattern you would never see one decision at a time. Built on the MASTER structure: Multi-frame, Assess, Surface, Think, Evaluate, Resolve.

What you get

  • The five-minute core: the real question, the Read that sets the tier, the grip check, your assumptions, the trade-off sentence, and a confidence number you can check later
  • A Deep Pass for a crux, with an options table, bias checks, criteria, safeguards, and a handover point when a decision outgrows you
  • Two structured reviews, a checkpoint early enough to change something and a debrief late enough to learn something
  • A ledger that shows which way you tilt, hold on too long or let go too soon
  • Complete it in your browser, return on the same device to continue, then save it as a PDF

Want to talk it through with your own team in mind?

A short conversation is usually enough to tell whether coaching, a team engagement, a workshop or an off-site is the right next move. If you would rather work it out on your own first, the decision tool takes three minutes.
