Think Better
Ask for the missing options
When you're choosing between A and B, the best move is sometimes C — and nobody in the room has said it out loud.
I'm deciding between these options: [list them]. What options am I not considering? Include at least one that changes the timing, one that changes the scope, and the do-nothing option with its real costs.
Why it works
Framing a decision as a menu hides everything not on the menu. A structured ask for absent options widens the menu before you commit.
