About Decision Lens
Decision Lens is built for moments when a normal to-do list is not enough. Some choices involve uncertainty, tradeoffs, and competing constraints, and they become easier when you can see the full map.
The app helps you model options as branching paths, compare likely outcomes, and move forward with a practical next step instead of staying stuck.
Compare tradeoffs
Evaluate risks, constraints, and second-order effects before making a commitment.
Decide with clarity
Turn uncertainty into concrete next steps you can act on right away.

FAQ
What is Decision Lens?
Decision Lens is a decision mapping app that helps you break complex situations into visual branches so you can compare options, constraints, and likely outcomes.
How is this different from a pros and cons list?
Pros and cons lists flatten decisions into one layer. Decision Lens lets you map second-order effects, dependencies, and risks across multiple possible paths.
Who is Decision Lens for?
It is designed for people working through high-stakes personal or professional choices where multiple options and tradeoffs need to be seen clearly.
Can I use it for team decisions?
Yes. Teams can use a shared decision map structure to frame tradeoffs and align on assumptions before committing to a path.
Does Decision Lens make the final decision for me?
No. It is a decision-support tool. It helps you structure thinking and compare paths, while final decisions remain yours.
