Origin No documented originator or date; circulates as a standard modern, decision-oriented alternative to the Past-Present-Future three-card layout.
Situation-Action-Outcome is a three card layout distinct from the far more common Past-Present-Future spread in what it tracks: rather than a timeline, its three positions name the current situation, the recommended course of action, and the likely outcome of taking it, making it a decision-oriented spread suited to questions about what to do next rather than questions about how a matter arose or where it stands.
