What Becomes Fixed When Commitment Is Expected?

Bare Observation

Commitment is requested while conditions continue to shift.

• Commitment demonstrates seriousness.
• Adjustments can be handled later.
• Agreement is treated as reversible.
• Stability is assumed once commitment is given.

1. What is happening?
2. What assumptions carry over?
3. Why do those assumptions still hold?
4. What follows if they remain in place?
5. Where does this conflict with current conditions or practice?

Commitment hardens assumptions into obligation.

Notice what commitment locks in.
