Decision Making⚠️ Pitfall

Analysis Paralysis

The Problem

Spending so much time analyzing data and seeking perfect certainty that decisions are delayed or never made.

The Principle

Set a decision deadline and work backward. Define "good enough" data quality and confidence levels upfront. Perfect data rarely exists.

📖 Real-World Example

A product team delayed a feature launch for 6 months seeking 95% confidence. Competitor shipped first. They learned to ship at 70% confidence with monitoring.
