THE MINDTILLER FIELD GUIDE
Find the right tool for this decision.
Choose a free tool to compare alternatives, challenge a plan or record a decision for later review. Work in your browser without an account.
01 / COMPARE
Decision matrix
Put your options side by side. See which trade-offs change the answer.
Compare my options ↗◎02 / CHALLENGE
Premortem worksheet
Imagine what went wrong. Turn possible failures into practical safeguards.
Test my plan ↗≋03 / RECORD & REVIEW
Decision journal
Capture what you know now. Return to your reasoning when you know more.
Record my decision ↗Start with the question you need to answer
“Which option fits my priorities?” Use the decision matrix. First remove options that fail a non-negotiable requirement. Then compare the feasible alternatives using the same criteria.
“What could make this plan fail?” Use the premortem. Focus on plausible mechanisms and early warnings, then assign a specific action to the risks that matter.
“What did I expect, and what did I learn?” Use the journal. Capture your reasoning before the outcome and add a separate review later.
You can use them together
Compare two approaches, challenge the preferred one, then record why you chose it. Download your outputs so you can bring them to a discussion or review them later. There is no automatic transfer of your entries between tools.
Designed for personal thinking and team conversations
Use the tools for a purchase, a project approach, a career choice or a working arrangement. A shared screen can support a team conversation, but the site does not provide collaborative accounts or cloud synchronization.
If people disagree, capture the disagreement rather than averaging it away. A difference in scores may reveal a difference in evidence, priorities or constraints.
