1. Articulating the core tradeoff in ONE sentence what are we actually trading off? (e.g., "short-term user satisfaction vs. long-term retention" or "new user acquisition vs. power user depth")

2. Listing the key assumptions behind Option A what would have to be true for it to be the right call?

3. Listing the key assumptions behind Option B same

4. Identifying which single assumption is the CRUX the one that, if we knew whether it was true, would make the decision obvious

5. Suggesting how we could test or validate that crux assumption before fully committing

Do NOT tell me which option to pick. I want the structured analysis.
