Summary  
This chapter presents a resilient decision-making framework that you can implement in code by first establishing a broad context (“zoom out”), then executing small, well-defined steps (“zoom in”), running a pre-mortem to simulate and guard against failures, and finally using priority-based branching to handle trade-offs under uncertainty.

General domain of usage  
Project and risk management

### Key Points:
- High-stakes decisions often involve **unclear paths** and **real consequences**;
- **Zooming out** helps you assess the **big picture** before taking action;
- A **pre-mortem** helps anticipate failure points and reduce blind spots;
- Identifying **what matters most** prevents overwhelm and improves focus;
- Strong decision-makers **trust their process** and **adapt quickly**, not perfectly.
