About wrap
A decision-making skill that applies all four phases of the WRAP framework to counter common cognitive biases. It helps individuals and teams expand options, test assumptions, gain perspective, and prepare safeguards.
Key features
- 01Widen the available options
- 02Reality-test assumptions
- 03Consider decisions across time horizons
- 04Run a premortem and set tripwires
- 05Form a recommendation with safeguards
Use cases
- 01Compare alternatives to a yes-or-no choice
- 02Test assumptions with small experiments
- 03Plan safeguards for a high-stakes decision

From the project READMEWRAP Decision Framework
Apply the complete WRAP framework to make a better decision by countering the four villains of decision-making.
Instructions
Work through all four phases sequentially. Each phase targets a specific cognitive bias that undermines good decisions.
Output Format
Decision: [What are we deciding?] Context: [Key constraints and stakes]
W: WIDEN Your Options
Counter: Narrow Framing ("Should I do X?" → "What are all my options?")
Current Framing How is the decision currently framed? (Often as "whether or not")
Expanded Options
| # | Option | Why It's Worth Considering |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | [option] | [rationale] |
| 2 | [option] | [rationale] |
| 3 | [option] | [rationale] |
| 4 | [option] | [rationale] |
Option-Finding Techniques
- Vanishing options test: "If you couldn't do X, what would you do?"
- Opportunity cost: "What else could you do with this time/money?"
- Find someone who solved it: "Who's had this problem?"
R: REALITY-TEST Your Assumptions
Counter: Confirmation Bias (seeking evidence that confirms what we want)
Key Assumptions
| Assumption | How Would We Know If Wrong? |
|---|---|
| [assumption 1] | [test] |
| [assumption 2] | [test] |
Consider the Opposite For each option, what would it take to be convinced it's wrong?
Ooch Is there a small experiment we can run to test this before fully committing?
| Option | Small Test | What We'd Learn |
|---|---|---|
| [option] | [test] | [insight] |
A: ATTAIN Distance Before Deciding
Counter: Short-term Emotion (deciding when angry, excited, or desperate)
10/10/10
| Time Horizon | How will you feel about this decision? |
|---|---|
| 10 minutes | [how you feel now] |
| 10 months | [how you'll likely feel] |
| 10 years | [long-term perspective] |
What Would I Tell My Best Friend? If someone you loved faced this decision, what would you tell them?
P: PREPARE to Be Wrong
Counter: Overconfidence ("I'm sure this will work")
Premortem Imagine this decision failed completely. What went wrong?
| Failure Mode | How to Prevent/Detect |
|---|---|
| [what could fail] | [safeguard] |
Tripwires Set a future point to reconsider:
| Tripwire | Action If Triggered |
|---|---|
| [date or condition] | [what we'll do] |
Decision
Recommendation Based on the WRAP analysis:
[Your decision and reasoning]
Key Safeguards
- [Safeguard 1]
- [Safeguard 2]
Review Date: [When to reassess]
Guidelines
- Don't skip phases—each counters a different bias
- "Should I?" is almost always narrow framing
- Look for the third option beyond the obvious two
- Ooch when you can—small tests beat big analysis
- Set tripwires before you need them
