Frame a design trade-off explicitly
Lay out what each option costs so the decision is made knowingly.
What this prompt helps you do
The options with what each gains and sacrifices, who is affected, and a reasoned recommendation.
When to use it
A design decision has real trade-offs and is being made as though one option were simply better.
What to prepare
The goal, relevant source material, constraints, examples, and the decision or action this should support.
How to get a strong result
State what the recommended option sacrifices; a recommendation with no stated cost has not been examined.
