Round Robin

Taking turns to decide. Person A picks this time, Person B picks next time.

Why use it?

  • Perfectly fair over a long timeline.
  • Gives each person complete agency when it's their turn.
  • Simple reciprocal structure.

Why it fails

  • Requires tracking who picked last (mental overhead).
  • Doesn't solve the problem if *neither* of you has an idea.
  • The person whose turn it is feels all the pressure.

Our Verdict

"Good for long-term fairness, bad for 'I don't know, what do you want?' moments."

Faster decision making using Random + Filtering.
