Open decision

Account for option costs, expiry and actual exercise feasibility; separate structural value from the recommendation to preserve options.

Missing work

  1. Review concept identity and role ownership before authoring a Card.
  2. Author role-local scope, logic and required method, diagnostic, objective or action content for the selected functions.
