Risk and Safeguard View The opportunity in “Confidence Through Competence: Prioritizing the Decisions That Matter” should be matched with limits that protect money, time, privacy, wellbeing, reputation and trust. Before acting, distinguish reversible experiments from decisions that are expensive or difficult to reverse. A responsible plan should define both an escalation point and a condition that requires the activity to pause.
