Neat idea! You might be able to deduplicate the list by converting the decisions to embeddings and running k-means clustering.
Interesting! You should consider making the email field optional: it’s unclear why it’s required, and maybe folks will be more comfortable sharing if it is optional.
You need the inverse of all of the decisions: "I decided NOT to invest in the stock market", etc.
