How to use AI for decision making
Use saved evidence to compare options, expose uncertainty and record why you chose a direction.

State the decision
Write the question, available options, deadline and what evidence would change your mind. Retrieve relevant notes and verify their dates before using them.
Ask for an evidence table
Ask Lumi to separate evidence for each option, evidence against it and unanswered questions. Check the cited passages. An answer that sounds confident does not establish that the evidence is complete.
Record your choice
Save the decision with the reasons and assumptions you accepted. Mark who decided and when. Keep rejected options so a later review does not rewrite the original reasoning.
Schedule an outcome review
Choose a review date in your own calendar. Add observed results to the decision note and compare them with the original expectation. You decide whether the evidence supports a change.
Put this into practice
tentus makes it practical. Capture, connect, and retrieve with Lumi working in the background.
