Anyone with a decision that has real options. It works for any decision, not only decisions about people.
An offer in another city, a course, a flat, a loan, a business you're thinking of starting.
A hire, a promotion, a supplier, a price change. Decisions where “I had a feeling” isn't an explanation.
Which candidate to put forward, which role to suggest to a student, when to push back on a brief.
One card. It says where the evidence leans and why, what would change it, and what's worth finding out next. Underneath are the Baseline, the five Evidence lists (known, assumed, uncertain, missing, contradictory) and every option, including any you didn't name.
It ends in one of three places: decided, leaning, or not enough to decide yet. Your decision is saved, so you can reopen it any time.
An invented example. The people, the offer and the figures are made up.
Bear runs BEAR, our decision framework. The whole method is free on this site, and you can run it on paper today. Bear Decide is for when you'd rather not spend the hour, or you're too close to see your own assumptions.
