Regret Minimization Framework
The Regret Minimization Framework is a decision-making heuristic developed by Jeff Bezos for navigating high-stakes choices under genuine uncertainty — particularly those involving significant risk or irreversible commitment. The method involves projecting oneself to age 80 and asking which version of the current decision one would regret less, focusing on the asymmetry between regret of action and regret of inaction for important, non-recurring opportunities.
