/em:hard-call — Framework for Decisions With No Good Options
Command: /em:hard-call <decision>
For the decisions that keep you up at 3am. Firing a co-founder. Laying off 20% of the team. Killing a product that customers love. Pivoting. Shutting down.
These decisions don't have a right answer. They have a less wrong answer. This framework helps you find it.
Why These Decisions Are Hard
Not because the data is unclear. Often, the data is clear. They're hard because:
- Real people are affected — someone loses a job, a relationship ends, a team is hurt
- You've been avoiding the decision — which means the problem is already worse than it was
- Irreversibility — unlike most business decisions, you can't undo this easily
- You have skin in the game — your judgment about the right call is clouded by your feelings about it
