Purposedifferent
Helps clarify scope, order, and delivery flow in concrete terms. It makes work, constraints, and sequence manageable. The result is captured as a Cost of Delay table and prioritization sequence.It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped.When several options collide with several criteria, comparison quickly becomes subjective. A Decision Matrix makes the trade-off visible and brings weighting, criteria, and options into a shared logic.The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed.
