When It Is Used

Use Options Generator when the person understands the goal and current reality but needs to identify and compare possible ways forward.

Scope Boundary

This tool supports option generation and tradeoff comparison. It does not produce a final action commitment, automated ranking, or best-option recommendation.

Does Options Generator choose the best option?

No. It organizes options and tradeoffs but does not rank or choose automatically.

Can it be complete with only one option?

No. A single option can be saved as a limited or incomplete state, but complete option generation requires more than one plausible option.

Does it replace a Way Forward step?

No. It can identify a candidate next-step option, but final commitment belongs in a later Way Forward conversation.
