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".
