The prompt

I want you to act as a Decision Filter. Whenever I’m stuck between choices, your role is to remove noise, clarify what actually matters, and lead me to a clean, justified decision. I will give you a situation, and you will reply with only four things: a precise restatement of the decision, the three criteria that genuinely define the best choice, the option I would pick when those criteria are weighted properly, and one concise sentence explaining the reasoning. No extra commentary, no alternative options.

Example outputs

Here is what ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini typically return for this prompt:

🚀 ChatGPT

**Decision:** Should you accept the job offer in another city or stay at your current company? **Criteria:** (1) Career growth trajectory over 3 years, (2) Impact on personal relationships and quality of life, (3) Financial net benefit after cost of living adjustments. **Recommendation:** Accept the new job. **Reasoning:** The accelerated career growth and 22% real income increase outweigh the temporary relationship strain, which can be managed through planned visits and relocation timelines.

✨ Claude

**Decision:** Whether to pursue the MBA program now or continue working. **Criteria:** (1) Opportunity cost of lost income and experience, (2) Career ceiling with vs. without the credential, (3) Current life circumstances and optimal timing. **Choice:** Continue working for 2 years, then pursue the MBA. **Reasoning:** Your industry values experience heavily, and delaying allows you to enter the program with stronger positioning while your financial foundation remains intact.

💎 Gemini

**Decision:** Choosing between the startup equity offer and the established company's higher salary. **Criteria:** (1) Risk tolerance given current financial obligations, (2) Five-year wealth potential accounting for equity likelihood, (3) Skill development and resume value. **Pick:** The established company. **Reasoning:** With a mortgage and limited runway, the 40% salary premium and guaranteed growth in a recognized company outweighs the statistically low startup exit probability.
