Can I change the decision weight after the process has started?

Yes, you can manually request an upgrade by saying 'let's go deeper,' or Claude will suggest an upgrade if it detects high complexity or low confidence in critical assumptions.

What are the three decision weights?

The weights are Light (under 10 minutes for reversible tasks), Medium (30-40 minutes for standard rigor), and Complete (60-90 minutes for high-stakes, irreversible decisions).

Does a 'Light' weight skip any framework steps?

No, all seven gates of the decision framework are always executed; the weight simply determines the level of detail and the number of questions addressed in each gate.

How does the skill decide which weight to suggest?

It evaluates specific criteria during the Thesis gate, including financial impact, reversibility, your domain expertise, and the number of stakeholders involved.
