Decision FAQ

Use it when

For questions a reader is weighing rather than looking up. Short answer, reasoning, then the case against, stated openly.

Content it requires

• Three questions, each with a short answer, reasoning, and a genuine when-not-to

Do not use it when

• Deliberately not an accordion. This content is meant to be read, so hiding it defeats the purpose.
• The when-not-to has to be real. A fake objection is more damaging than no objection.
• Three entries. Five becomes an essay.

Variants

None. Colour swaps and mirrored alignment do not count as variants.
