The kind of question this product is made for.
Twelve real questions our early users have opened, with the durations they chose. Set yours to a week, a fortnight, a month, a season · whatever the decision deserves.
From the decisions filed in the first cohort.
Questions about the people you have or will have.
Whether to have a baby. Whether to try for another. Whether to pursue IVF. Whether to send a child to a particular school. These are the questions that change the shape of a family for years. They suit a long duration · we recommend 60 to 90 days · because the moods that drive them shift seasonally, and you want the verdict to read across moods, not within one.
Questions about the relationship you are in.
Whether to get married. Whether to separate. Whether to move countries for one of you. Whether to stay through a difficult season. Shape-of-life decisions, made together. We recommend 60 days · enough time for both of you to write across many moods, not so long that the question becomes a fixture.
Questions about where and how you live.
Whether to move into the city. Whether to buy the house you saw on Sunday. Whether to move closer to family. Whether to take a place that adds an hour to your commute for a garden. The right duration depends on the urgency · 14 days when there is a real-estate deadline, 30 to 45 days when the decision is open.
Questions about work as it relates to the rest of your life.
Whether to take the new role. Whether to leave the job that is wearing you down. Whether to start the thing you have been talking about for two years. Career decisions rarely sit alone · they are usually a partnership decision in disguise. Run them as Couple decisions when the second person is materially affected, Solo when they are not.
Questions you face alone.
Counsel.day is built for solo decisions, too. The mechanism is the same · you cast one vote each evening, sealed, for a duration you choose · and the verdict still surfaces a trajectory, themes, and one specific next-step question. Your first Solo decision is free, no card required. Use it to make the structure of the product yours.
