A quick, reversible choice can be a way to test an assumption. Waiting for perfect information may cost more than a small experiment.
Slowing down is useful when consequences compound
When a decision is difficult to undo or affects other people, a pause can create room for missing evidence, dissent, and second-order effects.
Set the pace before the pressure arrives
Decide what information is enough, who needs to be consulted, and when the choice will be made. A pre-set process reduces the chance that urgency or avoidance chooses for you.
A useful next step
