Decision Deferral Impact Calculator

Quantify the cost of delayed decisions to prioritize unblocking actions and set decision deadlines.

Updated June 2026
The prompt
Decisions I'm stalling on: {{pending_decisions}}

For each decision, analyze:
1. What's actually waiting on this decision? (downstream tasks, team blockers, revenue impact)
2. Cost of delay per day/week (e.g., 2 engineers blocked = $2k/week)
3. Why the hesitation? (info gap, stakeholder misalignment, perfectionism)
4. What's the minimum info to decide well?
5. Worst-case outcome if I decide with 70% certainty vs. waiting for 95%

Rank decisions by impact of delay and provide a decision-by deadline plus a 2-minute next step for each.
