Here's a long-form exercise:
The other participant(s) ask questions to clarify the problem/decision.
The problem/decision can be either real or imaginary, but if imaginary the presenter must come up with appropriately detailed answers to questions.
This will probably take a fair amount of time.
The shorter-form version starts with steps 1-3 already done as example problems.
It probably helps if step 6 is a surprise.
Incidentally, I prefer "Compare Likely Consequences" to "Check Consequentialism" as a label for the skill.
