When to use this spread

Three cards for each option — what supports it, what it costs, and where it may lead.

Why this spread

A big decision deserves more than one card per side. Three cards per option give it room: what supports it, what it costs, and where it leads, so you compare whole paths rather than headlines. Best when the options are evenly matched and a mistake would be expensive.


What sets it apart

The expanded version of Option A · Option B, for decisions important enough to deserve more detail.
