Decision Deferral Risk Analyzer

Model the cost of delaying a decision vs. cost of making it now with incomplete info.

Updated June 2026
The prompt
Analyze the decision: {{decision_name}}

Incomplete info: {{missing_info}}
Time to gather info: {{info_timeline}}
Cost of delay (per {{delay_unit}}): {{delay_cost}}
Cost of wrong choice: {{error_cost}}
Ease of reversal: {{reversibility}}

Calculate:
1. Break-even point: at what point is gathering more info worthless?
2. Regret matrix: best/worst outcomes if you decide now vs. wait
3. Hidden costs: does delaying decision compound (other blockers, momentum loss)?
4. Reversibility score: can you undo this easily? (high = wait is safe)
5. Recommendation: decide now, set deadline, or gather specific info first

Include decision deadline and leading indicators to revisit.
