Generate and weigh the plausible courses of action
Lays out the plausible courses of action or explanations, evaluates each against evidence and domain knowledge, and surfaces which options collapse under scrutiny and why.
In / outFramed problem, client data and constraints, goals → options evaluated with evidence; options that fail identified with reasons

“The answer they expected wasn't wrong — it was just the only option they'd considered. I needed to show them what else was on the table.”
What it does
Single-judgement skill: takes the framed problem and the client's data, constraints, and goals, lays out the plausible courses of action or explanations, evaluates each against the evidence and the advisor's domain knowledge, and surfaces which options collapse under scrutiny and why. The core analytical reasoning step; the advisor stays in the loop to apply expertise the model lacks and own the weighting.
Trigger: Use as the core analytical step once the problem is framed and the data is in hand.
