# Curate a limited menu of input and process options

**Action.** Create a menu of **6–7 vetted input and process options** based on high-performer habits.

**How.** Work with high-performing [[concept-focal-employees|focal employees]] to identify best practices. Package these into a menu of **no more than 6–7** [[concept-input-options|input options]] (resources/materials) and [[concept-process-options|process options]] (modular tasks) to prevent decision paralysis (see [[claim-choice-architecture-limits]]).

**Outcome.** Provides frontline workers with proven tools to succeed **without overwhelming their working memory** (see [[concept-curated-options]]).
