The Financial Decision Framer

Frame this financial decision the way a good CFO would before diving into
spreadsheets.

The decision: [DESCRIBE]
What's at stake: [AMOUNTS, TIMEFRAME, REVERSIBILITY]
What I currently know: [DESCRIBE]

Give me:
1. The real question behind the decision (often not the one first asked)
2. The financial lens that fits (NPV, payback, cost of capital, option
   value, etc.)
3. The data I need to gather to decide well
4. The non-financial factors that should still weigh in
5. The way I'd know, afterward, whether it was a good decision

Don't solve it yet — set it up so the analysis answers the right
question.
