thinking-effectuation

Guides decisions under uncertainty by choosing controllable steps grounded in available means, affordable losses, and real commitments.

When to use it

Use when outcome probabilities are unreliable, available means are clearer than the goal, or changing conditions repeatedly break plans.

Give it an uncertain situation; it returns a brief covering available means, loss limits, a controllable next action, commitments, and whether to continue, switch approaches, or halt.
