Learn to decide under uncertainty by defining trial learning, comparing potential loss and reversal effort, and setting a review point for the next decision.
Compare learning, potential loss, and reversibility in uncertain work decisions. Specify what a trial can reveal alongside a sense of growth.
A career change or large commitment differs from a small prototype. Test a manageable part and update the decision from its results.
For new work, investigate capabilities, time, and demand. GOV.UK’s alpha phase tests ideas with prototypes. (GOV.UK: Alpha)
Distinguish producing something from learning enough to inform a decision.
Record sunk effort and effects on other work. Preserve necessary safety and contractual review in small trials.
Specify reversal tasks and decision ownership for each option.
Define the trial period and information needed to continue. Use unexpected results to revise the option and explanation.
Keep public activity pages aligned with currently deliverable work.
For a service page, distinguish changing wording from changing prices or intake methods. Their potential loss and approval requirements differ, so they should not be treated as equivalent decisions.
