Caught in a Catch-22? Map the game.

A Catch-22 is the phrase most of us reach for when every option costs something and none of them feel available. Describe what is actually happening, in ordinary language, and DecisionPlay maps the players, incentives, constraints, and assumptions underneath it.

It may not be a Catch-22 at all. The structure underneath is usually something more specific: a standoff where both sides wait for the other to move, a coordination failure, a bargaining problem, conflicting incentives, or an assumption-created trap where one unexamined belief makes two options look like the only two.

DecisionPlay does not decide for you. It makes the structure visible, and it is an educational tool rather than therapy, legal advice, or financial advice. Start from how it feels, or play today's decision.
