Applied, step-by-step guides to real decision rituals — pre-mortems, design sprints, Delphi studies, decision records — end to end, with honest limitations.

The GV sprint, run so the decision and its rationale outlive Friday: expert interviews extracted into arguments, silent critique that beats the loudest voice, the Supervote recorded with reasoning, and Friday's findings linked back to Monday's hypotheses.

60–90 minutes, one self-contained ritual: frame the plan as a claim, ten silent minutes of independent failure-writing, interrogate what surfaced, rate and read the spread, and attach mitigations as counter-arguments.

ADRs rot because the debate lives in chat and the record is written afterwards from memory. Run the RFC round as structured chains and let the ADR fall out of the tree — nothing transcribed, nothing lost in transcription.

Survey-based Delphi carries the numbers between rounds and loses the reasoning. Independent Round-1 positions, controlled feedback that is the arguments themselves, interrogable panelists (including AI ones), and dissent reported rather than averaged away.

Mode-by-mode design thinking for distributed teams: corpus-scale research synthesis, async ideation and large-group critique, convergence without a single Decider, and the Test loop actually feeding back into Define.

Four frameworks, one question, different letters. The comparison in one table, then the applied workflow that is identical whichever you pick: roles before the debate, consultation you can prove happened, one named human deciding on the record.

The end-to-end DAO walkthrough: open a governance topic, build and rate the pro/con tree, read the verdict from the root node, challenge through Q&A, Compromise and Review — and the proposal-import-to-vote flow as an explicit roadmap.
Every tutorial is written to be followed during the session, not just read before it — and each one ends with an artifact your team can query in six months.
