Check fear, facts and missing information · D4.9

Name the uncertainty you can leave open

You cannot know every detail before an ordinary decision.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. List the unknowns and identify which could materially change the decision.
2. Check the important unknowns where practical.
3. Choose whether enough is known to proceed, or state exactly what information you still need.

An example

I do not know everyone attending, but I know the location, access arrangements, and purpose of the event.

Reflect

Which unknowns mattered to the decision?

Next time

Revisit only when relevant new information appears.
