First Principles Decision Worksheet

A short worksheet for reasoning from what's fundamentally true instead of ""how it's always been done.

A short worksheet for reasoning from what's fundamentally true instead of ""how it's always been done.""

First-principles reasoning means breaking a problem down to its fundamental true components instead of reasoning by analogy to convention. This short worksheet walks through a worked example (a common return-to-office decision reasoned from fundamentals) and gives you the three-step structure to apply it yourself: state the assumption, test whether it's fundamentally true, rebuild from what's actually true.
