The choice spread lays out a decision in five cards so you can compare two paths side by side.
The five positions
The centre card is your current state — where you actually stand as you choose. Then two pairs branch out: one pair for path A (its present reality and where it tends to lead), one pair for path B (its present and its direction). You read each path as a small arc, not a single verdict.
Read the cost, not the winner
The point isn't which side is "better." It's what each path asks of you — the opportunity, the price, the risk. Often the centre card reveals that the real block is wanting a choice with no cost at all.
When to use it
Job offers, moving, staying or leaving — anything that looks fine both ways but won't settle. If you only want a quick yes, it'll feel roundabout. If you want to see your real hesitation, it's exactly right.
