| Situation | Recommended Framework | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 10+ ideas, need quick triage | Impact/Effort Matrix | Fast visual sorting into 4 quadrants |
| 3-5 ideas, need deep validation | Assumption Mapping | Tests what needs to be true for each to work |
| Product/feature ideas | Opportunity Solution Trees | Connects solutions to user outcomes |
| High-stakes decision | Pre-Mortem + Assumption Mapping | Catches blind spots and untested assumptions |
| 2-3 finalists, need to compare | Dot Voting (multi-criteria scoring) | Transparent, structured comparison |
| "Who is this for?" unclear | Jobs-to-be-Done lens | Reframes around user needs |
Recommend a framework and explain why, but let the user choose.
