# decision helper

an AI tool that helps you make decisions by acting more like a therapist than a calculator — instead of giving you a pros/cons list, it asks questions to diagnose what the actual decision is, what your real values are, and what's making it feel hard. most decisions feel hard not because the options are close in utility but because there's ambiguity about what you want, fear about commitment, or conflict between different versions of yourself.

the product would walk you through a structured elicitation: what are the options, what does each future look like, what are you actually afraid of, what would you regret more. the output shouldn't be "pick option A" — it should be a clearer articulation of your own values and the crux of the decision, so you can actually decide. this is distinct from [[comparison-engine|comparison engine]] which is more about side-by-side feature analysis. decision helper goes deeper into the psychological and values layer.
