Systematic decision-making, continuous monitoring. FOR-DEC provides a clear step-by-step guide for decision-making in high-pressure environments, with particular emphasis on the final "Check".
Anchor fast decisions
A structured decision-making model in aviation, six steps: Facts-Options-Risks/Benefits-Decision-Execution-Check. The mechanism is to use clear steps to prevent omissions in high-pressure environments, and to especially emphasize the final Check (monitoring) to ensure that the decision remains effective during execution rather than "set and forget".
