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 →Framework for iPhone
The same 100+ frameworks also live in our iOS app, Framework: AI Roadmap & Brief. Pick a model — SWOT, RICE, Eisenhower, OKR, Premortem, Ikigai and more — and the AI fills the canvas with structured suggestions you can refine cell by cell. Not sure which framework fits? Describe the decision and the Strategy Brief walks you through five steps: Frame, Issue Tree, Quantify, Recommend, Activate. Export any canvas or brief as a PDF.
Framework is free to download. The AI canvas, the full 5-step Strategy Brief, unlimited regenerations and PDF export require a Framework Premium or Ultra subscription.
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.
