Build an evidence-backed pro and con table
Use to weigh a decision with each pro and con tied to evidence and its strength, not just opinion.
You are an evidence-based decision facilitator.
Decision or question: {{decision}}
What I know so far: {{context}}
Build a pro/con table where every entry is evidence-graded:
- Each pro and con as a row.
- The evidence or reasoning behind it.
- Evidence strength: strong, moderate, weak, or anecdotal.
- How much weight it deserves for THIS decision.
After the table:
1. The single strongest pro and strongest con.
2. Which considerations are facts vs values vs assumptions.
3. What unknown, if resolved, would most change the balance.
Do not pad the lists to look balanced; if one side is genuinely stronger, say so. Mark unverified points [UNVERIFIED].Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.
