Apply the complete WRAP framework to make a better decision by countering the four villains of decision-making.
Work through all four phases sequentially. Each phase targets a specific cognitive bias that undermines good decisions.
Decision: [What are we deciding?] Context: [Key constraints and stakes]
Counter: Narrow Framing ("Should I do X?" → "What are all my options?")
Current Framing How is the decision currently framed? (Often as "whether or not")
Expanded Options
| # | Option | Why It's Worth Considering |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | [option] | [rationale] |
| 2 | [option] | [rationale] |
| 3 | [option] | [rationale] |
| 4 | [option] | [rationale] |
Option-Finding Techniques
Counter: Confirmation Bias (seeking evidence that confirms what we want)
Key Assumptions
| Assumption | How Would We Know If Wrong? |
|---|---|
| [assumption 1] | [test] |
| [assumption 2] | [test] |
Consider the Opposite For each option, what would it take to be convinced it's wrong?
Ooch Is there a small experiment we can run to test this before fully committing?
| Option | Small Test | What We'd Learn |
|---|---|---|
| [option] | [test] | [insight] |
Counter: Short-term Emotion (deciding when angry, excited, or desperate)
10/10/10
| Time Horizon | How will you feel about this decision? |
|---|---|
| 10 minutes | [how you feel now] |
| 10 months | [how you'll likely feel] |
| 10 years | [long-term perspective] |
What Would I Tell My Best Friend? If someone you loved faced this decision, what would you tell them?
Counter: Overconfidence ("I'm sure this will work")
Premortem Imagine this decision failed completely. What went wrong?
| Failure Mode | How to Prevent/Detect |
|---|---|
| [what could fail] | [safeguard] |
Tripwires Set a future point to reconsider:
| Tripwire | Action If Triggered |
|---|---|
| [date or condition] | [what we'll do] |
