Think Aloud Honestly.

To solve serious problems, humans have to think aloud honestly, make missteps and refine ideas through civil debate. 

Bernard Lane

Each of the Five Steps to a Good Decision is thinking aloud.

They also show our working out, and invite debate - even if just with ourself.

They are also the black box recorder that we can recover from the smouldering wreck of our decision and use to learn what went wrong and refine our ideas.
