Prompt

Compare these two options using what matters to me. Option A: [OPTION A] Option B: [OPTION B] My priorities: [LIST WHAT MATTERS, IN ROUGH ORDER] My constraints: [BUDGET / TIME / LOCATION / RISK TOLERANCE / OTHER] Known information about the options: [PASTE DETAILS OR ATTACH MATERIAL] Build a comparison table with: - Criterion - Why it matters to me - Option A - Option B - Evidence/unknowns - Which option appears stronger on this criterion, if the evidence supports a view Then summarise: - Where A clearly fits better - Where B clearly fits better - Genuine trade-offs - Important unknowns - The one or two pieces of information most likely to change the comparison Do not invent facts about either option. Do not turn my priorities into a universal recommendation. If the decision is high stakes, keep the output as decision support rather than professional advice.
