Predictably Irrational Decision Map

Problem

When menu pricing, free shipping, favors, or deadlines seem to drive choices, it is hard to separate preference from framing. predictably-irrational packages Ariely’s decision-psychology framework as an on-demand reference skill for explaining patterns such as anchoring, decoys, free, social norms, and procrastination.

How It Works

• Intent routing: maps user questions to the relevant topic and loads only the matching reference material, instead of dumping every concept at once.
• Named concepts: preserves Decoy Effect, Arbitrary Coherence, Cost of Zero, Social vs Market Norms, and Pre-Commitment rather than paraphrasing them into marketing language.
• Applied examples: covers menu middle options, first-price anchors, free bonuses, friend-money discomfort, and deadline design, with short recall prompts for self-check.

Scope and Caveats

It is best used as an educational study aid, not a substitute for economic, psychological, or consumer decision consultation. Cross-book recommendations appear only when the signal is clear, and outputs must keep the English title and required watermark format.
