Executive Review Mode — priority selection as a defined term
Use it when you already know most of what you need to know and the problem is that it is not organized into a decision.
Executive Review Mode organizes known strategy without adding new theories.
Do this first. Score on leverage, urgency, energy fit, compounding, and downside, and name the deciding dimension before totalling.
Do not do this. The metric that misleads here: number of priorities. Any list of priorities longer than one is a list of hopes with a strong word attached.
When two things both deserve this block, how does the tie break? Score on leverage, urgency, energy fit, compounding, and downside, and name the deciding dimension before totalling.
When this framework is the right one. Use it when you already know most of what you need to know and the problem is that it is not organized into a decision.
- State the decision that is actually waiting, in one sentence ending in a verb.
- List only what you already know that bears on it. New research is out of scope for the session.
- Separate the list into facts, assumptions, and unknowns, and mark which unknowns would actually change the decision.
- Make the decision, or name the single piece of information that would settle it and how you will get it.
Priority selection support, broken down
| Element | What it is here |
|---|---|
| The question behind it | When two things both deserve this block, how does the tie break? |
| The operating move | Score on leverage, urgency, energy fit, compounding, and downside, and name the deciding dimension before totalling. |
| The unit that matters | One contested block. Prioritizing a whole backlog is a different and much larger job. |
| What looks like progress and is not | Ranking everything, which is usually how the contested block itself gets spent. |
| Evidence that it is working | The chosen option and the deciding dimension, recorded each time. |
| Where this stops | Organizational support only. It is not clinical, legal, or financial advice. |
Common misreadings: priority selection support
| Element | What it is here |
|---|---|
| What it is usually mistaken for | Not knowing what matters. Usually you know; what is missing is a rule for the moment two things both matter. |
| The metric that misleads | Number of priorities. Any list of priorities longer than one is a list of hopes with a strong word attached. |
| What to do in the first week | Every time you pick between two things, write which one you picked and why. A week of those is a map of what your system actually optimizes for. |
| Where this stops | Organizational support only. It is not clinical, legal, or financial advice. |
Review classification sheet
| Bucket | Test | What it is allowed to do |
|---|---|---|
| Fact | You could show someone where it came from. | Support the decision directly. |
| Assumption | You believe it and have not checked it. | Support the decision, but must be labeled. |
| Unknown, decision-changing | If it went the other way you would choose differently. | Justify delaying the decision. There are usually at most one or two. |
| Unknown, not decision-changing | The decision is the same either way. | Nothing. It is noise and it is what most research is spent on. |

When two things both deserve this block, how does the tie break? Score on leverage, urgency, energy fit, compounding, and downside, and name the deciding dimension before totalling.
State the decision that is actually waiting, in one sentence ending in a verb.
What to measure. The chosen option and the deciding dimension, recorded each time.
Running Executive Review Mode for priority selection support
