Decision deskRemove a dominated task option cautiously
Compare supplied benefit and effort values without inventing preferences between nondominated choices.
The decision removes a strictly dominated option without pretending all surviving tradeoffs have one mathematical winner.

01 · Inspect the inputs
Every record stays visible
| Option | Supplied benefit points | Effort-hours |
|---|---|---|
| A | 5 | 4 |
| B | 5 | 6 |
| C | 7 | 8 |
Use horizontal scrolling for wide tables. These records are invented, not customer data.
02 · Follow the reasoning
How the case leads to a decision
A has benefit≥B and effort≤B, with a strict effort improvement. C offers more points but also more effort, so neither A nor C dominates the other.
The bounded result
A dominates B under the stated two-dimension rule: equal benefit and lower effort. A and C remain a tradeoff; the rule alone does not choose between them.

Decision desk
Decide before adding more work
Decision to make: A dominates B under the stated two-dimension rule: equal benefit and lower effort. A and C remain a tradeoff; the rule alone does not choose between them.
Synthetic planning case: A toy comparison treats more supplied benefit points and fewer effort-hours as preferable. A has five points at four hours, B five at six and C seven at eight.
Inspect dominated alternatives

Evidence: A is no worse than B on either supplied dimension and is better on effort.

Evidence: A versus C needs a preference or constraint not provided by dominance.
Filled manual planning note
Invented planning text. Adapt it to your evidence and confirmed owners.
A dominates B under the stated two-dimension rule: equal benefit and lower effort. A and C remain a tradeoff; the rule alone does not choose between them. A has benefit≥B and effort≤B, with a strict effort improvement. C offers more points but also more effort, so neither A nor C dominates the other. This screen relies on supplied dimensions and their preference directions; it is not an empirical value estimate.
Questions about this workflow
Does dominance prove A is best overall?
No. Unmodelled requirements or risks can change eligibility, and C remains nondominated.
What if the benefit points are uncertain?
Preserve the uncertainty and recheck whether the dominance claim still holds.
Does this create tasks in the product?
No. The brief is a manual planning resource. Use the product access link to check onboarding and the workflows available in your account.
Put the outline to work
- Agree the comparison dimensions. Check: More points and fewer hours are the declared preference directions.
- Inspect dominated alternatives. Check: A is no worse than B on either supplied dimension and is better on effort.
- Keep the remaining tradeoff open. Check: A versus C needs a preference or constraint not provided by dominance.
