Yes or no picker

How to use it

Frame a low-stakes choice before picking

1. Use Yes and No as written or replace them with two clear alternatives.
2. Add Maybe only when a third outcome is genuinely useful, and leave weights equal unless unequal chances are intentional.
3. Pick once, then treat the result as a prompt rather than advice about consequences.

Worked example

What a result means

Rename the choices Walk and Cycle and leave both weights at 1. Each has the same chance. If Cycle is changed to weight 2, the tool discloses the unequal setup before it picks.

Assumptions

Check the eligible input

The choices are treated as labels, not evaluated options. The tool has no information about cost, safety, preferences or consequences.

Selection method

How this tool chooses

The picker selects locally from two or three labelled outcomes. Equal default weights create equal chances; custom weights change relative chances and remain visible.

Inputs and optional saved data remain in this browser until you remove them.

Practical uses

When it can help

• Break a low-stakes tie
• Pick whether to try an optional activity
• Create a custom two- or three-choice prompt

Limitations

Use it for the right job

This tool cannot judge consequences or replace informed decisions. Do not use it for medical, legal, financial or safety-critical choices.
