good thinking

Wise idea there

Good thinking is an approving response to someone's idea or suggestion, acknowledging that it was clever or sensible: "I brought an umbrella." "Good thinking—it looks like rain.".

The phrase validates another person's foresight or problem-solving.

It can also describe the quality of reasoning itself: The report shows good thinking but weak execution.
