OPS.7:4.3 - Relate time to the decision-bearing consequences

Recover only what can change this decision: promised service, dependency state, risk, consequence of further delay, reversibility, recovery burden, affected parties, evidence and uncertainty, current comparison basis, and any feasible probe that could still reverse the result. Name clinical, safety, legal, security, financial, or other specialist claims without replacing their owners.

Age alone does not prove urgency. Express urgency as “delay can change X for decision Y under evidence Z”, or leave it unsupported.
