Most “gut-feel” decisions collapse under pressure.
I built a framework that turns ChatGPT (or Claude/Gemini) into a disciplined decision-making engine. 👇

Win more workouts than you lose.
One year, I had athletes rate every hard workout on a 1-3 scale: bad, average, or good.
After, I looked at those who improved the most versus those who stagnated.
The improvers had fewer bad workouts.
