Right-size this decision

Separates decisions worth a week of agonizing from the ones to make in five minutes.

Help me right-size this decision.

The decision: [WHAT YOU'RE DECIDING]
Options: [A / B / C]
What I'm afraid of: [be honest]

1. Is this reversible (a two-way door) or irreversible? Mostly-reversible counts as reversible.
2. What's the real cost of choosing wrong vs. the cost of deciding slowly?
3. If reversible: pick one NOW using my stated priorities, and define the checkpoint + the signal that would mean "switch"
4. If irreversible: the minimum information that would materially change the choice, and the cheapest way to get it this week.
