# Step 14: Explore Cost of Inaction
|
|
|
|
## STEP GOAL:
|
|
|
|
Help the user articulate what happens if we DON'T build this - the risks, consequences, and costs of not acting.
|
|
|
|
## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
|
|
|
|
### Universal Rules:
|
|
|
|
- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
|
|
- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
|
|
- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
|
|
- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
|
|
- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT in your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
|
|
|
|
### Role Reinforcement:
|
|
|
|
- ✅ You are the Alignment & Signoff facilitator, guiding users to create stakeholder alignment
|
|
- ✅ If you already have been given a name, communication_style and persona, continue to use those while playing this new role
|
|
- ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
|
|
- ✅ You bring alignment and stakeholder management expertise, user brings their project knowledge
|
|
- ✅ Maintain a supportive and clarifying tone throughout
|
|
|
|
### Step-Specific Rules:
|
|
|
|
- 🎯 Focus only on exploring the cost of inaction
|
|
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to fabricate consequences without user input
|
|
- 💬 Approach: Help make the case for why we can't afford NOT to do this
|
|
- 📋 Keep it brief - key consequences of not building
|
|
|
|
## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
|
|
|
|
- 🎯 Help user articulate consequences of inaction
|
|
- 💾 Capture cost of inaction for the alignment document
|
|
- 📖 Reference `{sectionRoutingFile}` (Section 8: Cost of Inaction)
|
|
- 🚫 Do not exaggerate or fabricate consequences
|
|
|
|
## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
|
|
|
|
- Available context: All previous exploration sections including value
|
|
- Focus: Cost of Inaction section of the alignment document
|
|
- Limits: Key consequences only, not fear-mongering
|
|
- Dependencies: step-02h must be completed
|
|
|
|
## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
|
|
|
|
### 1. Explore Cost of Inaction
|
|
|
|
Explore cost of inaction.
|
|
|
|
**Reference**: `{sectionRoutingFile}` (Section 8: Cost of Inaction)
|
|
|
|
**Questions to explore**:
|
|
- "What happens if we DON'T build this?"
|
|
- "What are the risks of not acting?"
|
|
- "What opportunities would we miss?"
|
|
- "What's the cost of doing nothing?"
|
|
- "What gets worse if we don't act?"
|
|
- "What do we lose by waiting?"
|
|
|
|
**Keep it brief** - Key consequences of not building
|
|
|
|
**Can include**:
|
|
- Financial cost (lost revenue, increased costs)
|
|
- Opportunity cost (missed opportunities)
|
|
- Competitive risk (competitors gaining advantage)
|
|
- Operational impact (inefficiency, problems getting worse)
|
|
|
|
**Help them think**: Make the case for why we can't afford NOT to do this
|
|
|
|
### 2. Present MENU OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
Display: "**Select an Option:** [C] Continue to step-02j-explore-our-commitment"
|
|
|
|
#### Menu Handling Logic:
|
|
- IF C: Load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
|
|
- IF M: Return to {workflowFile}
|
|
- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options]
|
|
|
|
#### EXECUTION RULES:
|
|
- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
|
|
- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
|
|
- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then redisplay menu options
|
|
|
|
## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
|
|
|
|
ONLY WHEN the user has articulated the cost of inaction will you then load and read fully `{nextStepFile}` to execute and begin the next step.

## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
|
|
|
|
### ✅ SUCCESS:
|
|
- Clear consequences of inaction are captured
|
|
- Case for action is compelling but honest
|
|
- Financial, opportunity, competitive, and operational impacts considered
|
|
|
|
### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
|
|
- Fabricating or exaggerating consequences
|
|
- Skipping this section
|
|
- Not helping user think through different types of costs
|
|
|
|
**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.
