- A user is choosing between options, approving a plan or committing resources.

Bias-aware Decision Review
Review an important decision for cognitive-bias risks without pretending the decision can be made bias-free. Separate facts, assumptions and unknowns; surface a few plausible lenses; challenge them; and produce concrete checks and next actions.

Safety boundary
Useful skepticism without amateur diagnosis.
- Treat bias names as lenses, not diagnoses or causal findings.
- Do not create a bias score for a person, team or decision.
- Do not force a bias explanation when ordinary incentives, missing information or constraints explain the situation better.
- For medical, legal, financial or mental-health decisions, keep the skill educational and defer professional judgment where appropriate.
