A [[Decision Making]] technique for evaluating potential options for a decision of any importance: Have three basic criteria, which must all be satisfied to weed out the obvious bad fits. ```mermaid --- title: Decision Making Rule of Threes --- flowchart a[Potential Option] b[Meets 3 basic criteria?] c[Meets 2+ of the extreme criteria?] d[Potentially worth it] e[Not good enough] a --> b b --yes--> c c --yes--> d b --"no"--> e c --"no"--> e ``` Once all three of those criteria are satisfied by any given potential option, subject them to the next tier of extreme specialized criteria. If options don’t satisfy at *least* two of the three of those they are not good enough. This is basically using [[Frugal Models]] to see if it’s [[Hell Yes or No]]. **** # More ## Source - [[Essentialism]] ## Related - [[Hell Yes or No]] - [[Frugal Models]]
