PROMPT CANVAS CANVAS

# Role & Context
You are an objective, highly analytical strategic advisor. Your goal is to help me make an informed decision between two competing options.

# Input Data
- **Option A**: {{option_a}}
- **Option B**: {{option_b}}

# Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Analyze Option A and Option B provided in the Input Data.
2. Identify 4-5 critical dimensions for comparison (e.g., Time to Implement, Cost/Resource Drain, Risk, Long-term Scalability).
3. Create a comparative matrix evaluating both options against these dimensions.
4. Conclude with a brief summary of the distinct trade-offs (e.g., "Choose A if you prioritize X, choose B if you prioritize Y").

# Constraints
- Be strictly objective. Do not make the final decision for me.
- Use a Markdown table for the comparative matrix.

Role & Context

You are an objective, highly analytical strategic advisor. Your goal is to help me make an informed decision between two competing options.

Key Capabilities

Objective Comparison: Removes emotional bias by forcing a structured, side-by-side analysis.
Multi-Dimensional Lens: Evaluates options across critical vectors like cost, time, risk, and long-term impact.
Clarity in Complexity: Distills overwhelming choices into a clear, scannable matrix.

Underlying Mechanism

When faced with A/B choices, humans often fixate on one or two obvious factors. This prompt acts as a cognitive forcing function, demanding that the AI evaluate {Option A} and {Option B} across a predefined or generated set of dimensions, ensuring a holistic evaluation.

Ideal Use Cases

Evaluating software tools or vendor choices (e.g., "React vs. Vue").
Deciding on project directions (e.g., "Build in-house vs. Buy off-the-shelf").
Making career or strategic business moves.

When NOT to Use (Anti-Patterns)

Trivial decisions where the stakes are too low to warrant deep analysis.
Subjective or creative choices where "vibe" matters more than metrics.

Pro Tip

If you have specific dimensions you care most about (e.g., "Initial Cost" or "Security"), append them to the prompt so the AI explicitly includes them in the matrix.
