100+ Thinking Frameworks, One Curated Library
FrameworkList is our companion project — a curated catalog of the decision-making, prioritization, and strategy frameworks great thinkers actually reach for. Each one comes with a definition, a when-to-use line, a worked example, and a free interactive worksheet you can fill in without signing up.

SWOT Analysis
Map Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. The original 2×2 for sizing up almost any situation.
Open the SWOT worksheet →Eisenhower Matrix
Separate the urgent from the important. The quickest cure for a to-do list that keeps growing but never moves you forward.
Open the Eisenhower worksheet →Pre-Mortem
Imagine the project has already failed — then work backwards. Surfaces blind spots before you've spent a dollar.
Open the Pre-Mortem worksheet →5 Whys
Ask "why" five times to drill from a surface symptom to the actual root cause. A staple of lean and quality engineering.
Open the 5 Whys worksheet →Pros & Cons
The oldest decision tool in the book — done properly, with weights. Forces you to be honest about what actually matters.
Open the Pros & Cons worksheet →RICE Prioritization
Reach × Impact × Confidence ÷ Effort. The framework product teams use to compare apples to oranges on a single backlog.
Read the RICE guide →Why we built FrameworkList
After a decade of consulting and product management, I noticed I kept re-Googling the same dozen frameworks — SWOT for one client, RICE for a backlog, a pre-mortem before a launch — and I always landed on a different page that defined them slightly differently. So I built FrameworkList: one place where every framework has the same shape (definition, when to use, worked example), and where you can immediately try the popular ones with a free interactive worksheet instead of bookmarking yet another PDF template.
The full story is here: I collected 100+ thinking frameworks over a decade. Then I built FrameworkList.
