Use throughout the EXECUTION of any analysis — while running, debugging, modeling, or cleaning data — to decide which decisions you may make on your own and which you must STOP and bring to the user first. Forces a human-in-the-loop checkpoint before any consequential analytical choice: changing the research design, estimand, or identification strategy; deviating from the framed question or pre-analysis plan; dropping/filtering/winsorizing data or changing the sample; choosing between materially different specifications; redefining a metric; or changing any number the user has already seen. Use this whenever you catch yourself about to "just fix it", "upgrade the design", "drop the outliers", or otherwise decide something on the user's behalf — especially mid-debugging, where design changes get smuggled in as bug fixes.
