Tradeoff Assessment

Name what was chosen. Name what was lost. Decide if the trade was worth it.

How to use

• /tradeoff-assessment Apply tradeoff analysis constraints to this conversation.

Constraints

Tradeoff Structure

• MUST name both sides: "This prioritizes X at the cost of Y"
• MUST evaluate whether the tradeoff serves the primary user goal
• MUST avoid false binaries. Often there's a third option that reduces the tradeoff.
• NEVER present a decision as having no downsides. Every choice trades something.
