Purposedifferent | For decisions with follow-on paths and dependencies, a linear comparison is often not enough. A Decision Tree shows how options branch under conditions and which consequences hang on each branch. | The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed. | 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. |
