Typical workshop
A facilitated session can surface options. The output often dies as photos of a whiteboard.

Not another four-box workshop.
Four boxes can help a room talk. They do not, by themselves, choose between Option A and Option B.
Not another four-box workshop.
Typical SWOT
- describes a situation
- does not compare named options
- hides which box mattered most
- can treat the loudest threat as the decision
- ends when the grid is full
Argumont
- compares competing positions
- turns threats into claims that can be tested
- scores options against explicit criteria
- keeps remaining uncertainty visible
- can return No Strong Winner Yet
The difference
If a SWOT surfaces a threat or an opportunity, that point should become a claim or a risk attached to an option. It should not remain a quadrant on a whiteboard.
The Verdict is not the Decision
Argumont provides analytical judgment. You remain responsible for the final Decision.
