Part Six: Lead the Decision System — Chapter 12: Begin Monday

Decision day

Begin by reading the hypothesis and evidence standard. Present the observed result, explain any limits, and let the owner decide whether to stop, continue, invest, or industrialize. Use the decision record so the reason and next responsibility remain clear.

If the step was preparation or measurement, decide whether it has made a valid experiment possible or whether more preparation or a wait is warranted. Then return to the alternatives with what you've learned and choose the next friction that deserves attention.
