Pros/cons and decision support

Day 17 of 30 · 30 Days of AI

Use structured pros/cons to inform choices

Learning goal

  • Create a pros/cons table with decision criteria.
  • Write a short recommendation with caveats.

Why it matters

  • Balanced pros/cons reduce biased decisions.
  • Caveats keep stakeholders aware of risks.

Explanation

  • Ask for 3 pros/3 cons per option.
  • Add decision criteria: cost/time/impact/risk.
  • Request a 100-word recommendation + caveats.

Examples

  • Prompt: “Compare Option A vs B: 3 pros/cons each, criteria score (1–5) for cost/time/impact/risk). Recommend with caveats.”
  • Weak: “Which is best?”

    • Guided exercise (10–15 min)

    1. Pick two options; generate pros/cons table + scores.
    2. Ask for a short recommendation and note caveats.

    Independent exercise (5–10 min)

    Adjust criteria weights and rerun; see if choice changes.

    Self-check

    • Pros/cons balanced.
    • Scores present for criteria.
    • Caveats explicitly listed.
