AI hands back a clean "yes" with no sign of what it's resting on or what would flip it. Here's how to make the model show its load-bearing assumptions and the specific changes that would flip, narrow, or defer its recommendation — so you see how fragile the answer really is.
Before asking AI which option to pick, have it classify the decision's reversal cost — reversible, hard-to-reverse, or irreversible — so you move fast on the easy calls and slow down on the one-way doors. A candidate reading you confirm, not a verdict it issues.
Ask AI "which option is best?" and it returns a one-line pick with the criteria hidden and unknowns scored like facts. Here's how to build a decision matrix with AI: options against weighted criteria you approve, a reason per score, unknowns kept separate, and a sensitivity check.
You ask AI which option to pick and it hands back a confident call — even when the real answer is that the decision isn't ready to make yet. Here's how to make AI weigh cost of delay against cost of being wrong and choose decide-now, a reversible step, or a dated deferral.
You ask AI "should we keep pursuing this?" and get "it could be valuable — keep testing," so a weak option survives on hope. Here's how to set kill criteria first: the observable evidence, threshold, deadline, and owner that decide, in advance, when to drop it.
