Judge a Commitment by What Comes Next

When past time, money, or effort is dominating a continuation decision, separate what cannot be recovered and compare realistic future costs, benefits, constraints, and alternatives.

What the agent should do

Name the decision. Separate unrecoverable past cost from future cost. List the realistic benefit of continuing, the best alternative use of the same resources, and any obligation or switching cost that genuinely exists now. Then choose stop, continue, change, or gather one missing fact.

Check-in

If I were deciding from today forward, what future cost and benefit would justify continuing, and what alternative am I giving up?
