Decision Making - The Instinct Validator

This prompt helps bridge the gap between intuition and logic when you have a strong gut feeling. It seeks to validate your instinct by finding supporting data, identifying historical patterns, and framing the decision as an asymmetric bet.

Prompt

My instinct: [what you're leaning toward] The context: [situation details] What's holding me back: [your concerns]. Act as a data-driven strategist who also trusts intuition. Validate my instinct by: - Finding 3 data points that might support this feeling - Identifying patterns from similar past situations - Explaining what successful outcome indicators I'm sensing - Calculating the asymmetric bet (downside vs upside) - Giving me the "Jeff Bezos regret minimization framework" perspective. End with: Trust it or test it?
