cynefin
Use BEFORE selecting any other decision framework — Cynefin (kuh-NEV-in) classifies WHICH framework fits the current situation across 5 domains (Clear / Complicated / Complex / Chaotic / Confused). Triggers when user is about to apply a method and the fit feels off, asks meta-questions like "should we follow SOP or explore?", or when same approach that worked last time seems wrong now. Also use after failure when "the method was right but the situation didn't match", or when team argues over deterministic-plan-vs-experimentation. Especially valuable at the start of major decisions to avoid using the wrong hammer for the nail. Do NOT use for trivial classified decisions (don't run Cynefin for "what to eat for lunch"), true Chaotic situations needing immediate stabilizing action (act first, classify later), or teams unfamiliar with the model (use simpler known/unknown binary).
