- We consider a number of choices, discussing the pros and cons of each choice or option.
- If available, we’ll present data for each option.
- We vote for our favoured choice (dot voting is a nice technique to use here).
- We end up with a single choice that we can or can’t all live with, and perhaps we made a compromise to get to the final decision.
