Choice audit: a structured observation and categorization
Choice audit: a structured observation and categorization practice that maps an individual's decision-making behavior across a representative day to identify cognitive waste, recurring low-stakes decisions, and opportunities for architectural intervention through pre-decisions, defaults, automation, reduction, or elimination
Why This Is a Definition
This definition clearly establishes the term 'choice audit' by naming it, stating its genus (structured observation and categorization practice), and its differentia (mapping decision-making behavior across a day to identify cognitive waste and intervention opportunities). It precisely distinguishes it from other similar concepts like productivity audits or commitment reviews, and uses language consistent with the curriculum's framing of the practice as a diagnostic tool for decision architecture.
