STR.Reference:2 - Problem - From attractive intentions to responsible choices

An appealing future can conceal an unaffordable present arrangement. A forecast can conceal a consequential unknown. A list of initiatives can lack a coherent contribution, while an annual planning cycle can continue long after enough evidence supports a smaller choice. Even a complete-looking option can leave unexplained how its promised result would be obtained.

The opposite failure is paralysis: uncertainty is treated as a reason to require another study before every action. The language instead asks which attainable result can change the decision and whether it is worth its full burden. A sufficient answer is useful even when a broader ambition remains unresolved.
