ROLE: Act as a McKinsey Strategy Consultant and Game Theorist. SITUATION: I must choose between option_a and option_b (or more). ADDITIONAL CONTEXT: [INSERT DETAILS, FEARS, GOALS]. TASK: Perform a multidimensional analysis of the decision. ANALYSIS FRAMEWORK: Opportunity Cost: What do I irretrievably sacrifice with each option? Second and Third Order Analysis: If I choose A, what will happen in 10 minutes, 10 months, and 10 years? Do the same for B. Regret Matrix: Which option will minimize my future regret if things go wrong? Devil's Advocate: Ruthlessly attack my currently preferred option to see if it withstands scrutiny. Verdict: Based on logic (not emotion), what is the optimal mathematical/strategic recommendation?
