Gray-Area Test

The Gray-Area Test is a decision-making tool used to help determine whether a situation falls into a clear category or if it’s more uncertain and complex. It involves analyzing the circumstances to see if they align closely with established rules or if they occupy a transitional space where different rules might apply. Essentially, it helps clarify whether an issue is straightforward or requires further consideration, highlighting areas that are not entirely black-or-white but instead exist in a "gray area" of uncertainty. This assists in making more informed, nuanced decisions in complex scenarios.
