## Overview

The Decision Maker is a versatile utility tool designed to help you break through analysis paralysis by providing unbiased, random outcomes for your daily choices.

## Inputs

- **Decision Mode** (select)
- **Your Question (optional)** (text): What do you need help deciding?
- **Options List** (textarea): Enter options, one per line (for "From Options" mode)

## When to use

- When you are stuck between multiple equally appealing options.
- When you need a quick, fair way to settle a disagreement or divide tasks.
- When you want to leave a minor decision to chance to save time and mental energy.

## How it works

- Select your preferred decision mode from the menu, such as Coin Flip, Dice Roll, or Custom Options.
- Enter your specific question or the list of choices you are considering.
- Click the generate button to receive an instant, randomized result.

## Use cases

- Choosing a restaurant for lunch with friends.
- Assigning chores or responsibilities fairly among team members.
- Deciding between two product features to prioritize for a prototype.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is the selection process truly random?

Yes, the tool uses a cryptographically secure random number generator to ensure every outcome is unbiased.

### Can I use this for complex business decisions?

This tool is intended for simple, low-stakes choices. It should not replace professional judgment for critical matters.

### How many options can I add to the list?

You can add as many options as you need, provided they are entered one per line in the options field.

### What is the difference between Coin Flip and Yes/No mode?

Coin Flip provides a heads or tails result, while Yes/No mode provides a binary answer to a specific question.

### Do I need to save my results?

The tool displays the result immediately on the screen; it does not store your history or personal data.

Three modes: (1) generate a fresh verifier + challenge from cryptographically secure random bytes at 256/384/512/768-bit entropy, (2) audit a verifier you already have against the RFC — length (43–128), charset \[A-Za-z0-9-._~\] and ≥256-bit entropy, and (3) verify a verifier/challenge pair by recomputing BASE64URL(SHA256(verifier)). Optionally build the full authorization-request URL and token-exchange body. Complements the generic nonce-generator (which only emits a verifier+challenge pair) with RFC-compliance auditing and pair verification.
