Many-Armed Band-Aid: Decisioning Practices

You've reached Step 5 of our comprehensive guide to decisioning like a Many-Armed Band-Aid. Congratulations!

In this step, you will develop hypotheses about the optimal configuration of your Many-Armed Band-Aid. This is where the rubber meets the road, or rather, where the adhesive meets the wound.

To begin, consider the following questions:

• How many arms do you really need? Do you need 3, 5, or maybe a whole 17?
• What material should your Many-Armed Band-Aid be made of? Should it be sticky, or perhaps it should be made of a durable, waterproof material?
• Should it have any bells and whistles, like built-in massage functions or a built-in snack bar?

Don't worry, these are just some sample questions to get you started. The real challenge is to develop hypotheses that will actually work in real-world scenarios.
