The GFunnel Methodology
Decision-Making Algorithm
The steps
- Identify the decision. State it precisely — if you cannot state it, you have not yet identified it.
- Locate which Kingdom the decision needs to come from. Reactive choice is First. Strategic choice is Second. Vision choice is Third.
- Identify the variables. What is measurable? What is held open? Per the Variable Principle: never fill a variable with assumption.
- Identify the gradient. Decisions that align with established gradients require less force. Decisions that require new gradient establishment require more deliberate cause-setting.
- Run the Hermetic audit (Layer II algorithm). Which principle would be violated by each option?
- Identify the dynamic middle. Most decisions present false binary; the middle position usually exists.
- Test against falsifiability: what would tell you the decision was wrong? If nothing would, you are not making a real decision.
- Decide. Set the cause.
- Document the decision and its expected outcome. The documented expectation is what makes evaluation possible.
- Observe the actual outcome against the predicted. Integrate the gap as information per the Slime Mold mechanism.
