The Four Resolutions Decision-Making Framework

Every problem, every opportunity, every decision can be viewed at four distinct altitudes, each revealing different patterns, risks, and possibilities.

Think of it like flying over terrain at different heights. At 30,000 feet, you see the continent. At 10,000 feet, you see the mountain ranges. At 1,000 feet, you see the roads and buildings. At ground level, you see the individual stones on the path.

Same reality. Completely different information is available.

Most professionals get stuck at one altitude. They become “ground-level thinkers” who can execute but can’t see where they’re going. Or they become “stratosphere thinkers” who have grand visions but can’t make anything happen.

The Four Resolutions Framework provides a systematic way to think about these attitudes and, more importantly, to move between them fluidly.


Now you can join the Business Engineering Thinking OS program by subscribing to it directly from here (select The BE Thinking OS). This is a high-touch, AI-native coaching program designed to embed AI throughout your professional workflow, amplifying your impact as an executive, practitioner, entrepreneur, and more.

I sit down with you to understand what business goals you want to achieve in the coming months, then map out the use cases, and from there embed the BE Thinking OS into the memory layer of ChatGPT or Claude, for you to become what I call a Super Individual Contributor, Manager, Executive, or Solopreneur.
