Question
What is decision type framework?
Quick Answer
Create a specific framework for each recurring decision type.
Decision type framework is a concept in personal epistemology: Create a specific framework for each recurring decision type.
Example: You use the same agonizing deliberation for choosing a database as you do for choosing lunch. One decision shapes your architecture for years. The other is reversed by walking to a different restaurant tomorrow. When you apply a single generic process to both, you either over-invest in trivial choices or under-invest in consequential ones. The fix: build a specific framework for each type of decision you encounter repeatedly, so the right level of rigor activates automatically.
This concept is part of Phase 23 (Decision Frameworks) in the How to Think curriculum, which builds the epistemic infrastructure for decision frameworks.
