Human Decision Lab™ · Framework Library

10 frameworks for understanding attention and performance.

Original conceptual frameworks developed at The Human Decision. Built to give language and structure to ideas that matter but rarely get named.

01
Attention Lifecycle Framework™
How attention flows through input, deployment, outcome, and recovery — and why each stage matters for performance.
View
02
Attention Health Framework™
Eight dimensions of attention — a comprehensive map of cognitive performance that goes beyond "focus."
View
03
Human Decision Model™
The causal chain from attention quality to decision quality to performance outcomes.
View
04
The Erosion Loop™
How distraction, fragmented attention, and poor decisions create a self-reinforcing cycle of degraded performance.
View
05
The Attention Flywheel™
The virtuous cycle that becomes possible when attention is restored — compounding performance over time.
View
06
Attention Debt Framework™
A model for understanding accumulated cognitive cost and how it compounds — like financial debt, but for your mind.

07
Cognitive Load Framework™
How different types of mental work consume attentional resources — and how to manage load for sustained performance.
Soon
08
Context Switching Tax™
Quantifying the hidden cost of task-switching and what it actually does to decision quality.
Soon
09
Founder Attention Framework™
A model built specifically for founders — mapping how early-stage pressures uniquely degrade attention and decision-making.

Decision Quality Framework™
A system for evaluating the quality of decisions independent of outcomes — and the role attention plays in each dimension.
