The Next Best Question
Could you cover 6 months of living costs before you resign?
This one answer is most likely to flip the result — it's where the two options pull hardest in opposite directions.
Currently ranks highest
Own business — narrowly, because you weighted growth and flexibility above security.
What's driving it
Flexibility (+3) and growth (+2) outweigh the drop in financial security (−3).
What could change it
If security matters even a little more to you, staying in your job takes the lead.
What you still need to know
Realistic first-year income, startup costs, and how much savings you have.
Clarity score: 58/100
Shows how clearly your own priorities separate your top options. Near 50 is a toss-up; higher means a clearer leader. It is not a prediction of success or a probability.
