Decision Edge

Methodology

A structured decision analysis framework — not coaching, not a personality test.

The problem

Why career decisions stay stuck

Most tools applied to career decisions come from other fields: coaching, therapy, consulting. They help you think — but they are not designed to arbitrate between real competing options under constraints.

The problem is often not a lack of clarity. It is a flawed decision structure: poorly compared options, underestimated constraints, absent external signals. Smart people apply rigorous thinking to the wrong framework — and stay stuck.

The framework

The FRAME Method

Five dimensions systematically analysed for every case.

F
FactsWhat your track record actually demonstrates — profile, trajectory, concrete evidence.
R
Reality constraintsWhat is non-negotiable: family, finances, geography, timing.
A
AlternativesThe real options on the table — not generic hypotheses.
M
MisalignmentTensions between what you want, what is feasible, and what has been tested.
E
Execution thresholdsObjective thresholds that trigger a decision or an exit.

What the analysis examines

The actual shape of your decision

The goal is not to describe what you feel. The goal is to identify what needs to be verified to decide correctly.

Concrete options

The paths actually on the table, compared against each other.

Real constraints

What is objectively non-negotiable in your situation.

Available evidence

What has been externally validated — not what is assumed.

Missing evidence

Untested hypotheses that are shaping the decision.

Execution risks

What can block each path in your real context.

Identified biases

What can skew the arbitration without you seeing it.

How the arbitration is produced

Three evaluation dimensions

Each option is evaluated on these three axes — not compared to generic benchmarks.

Fit

Your actual profile, demonstrated skills, and sector positioning.

Feasibility

Your current constraints — time, income, geography, family context.

External validation

Market or third-party signals that confirm or invalidate each option.

What you receive

A written report. Not a session.

Not a list of possibilities. A ranked, argued analysis with a clear direction and the conditions that make it valid.

01.

Decision diagnosis

The dominant constraint actually structuring your blockage. Not a symptom — the structural cause.

02.

Option-by-option analysis

Each path evaluated on fit, feasibility, and evidence. What holds, what is missing, what risks.

03.

Clear recommendation

A precise direction with the logic that makes it preferable now — not a list of possibilities.

04.

Execution plan

Sequenced actions over a window sized to your case, from a few weeks to a few months. What to test first, in what order.

05.

Decision thresholds

The objective conditions that confirm or invalidate the recommendation. Rules, not intuitions.

What this analysis does not do

It will not tell you what you want to hear.

It will not validate a decision you have already made.

It will not replace your judgment — it structures it.

It will not create artificial certainty.

It will not turn a hypothesis into truth.

It turns hesitation into a protocol: what to test, in what order, with what thresholds.
