Published note
Decision drift stays broad until one stalled decision becomes primary
Many quiet stalls are really future-state ambiguity problems rather than obvious losses. In the current 334-company cohort, 141 of 334 companies made it the main blocker, while 331 of 334 showed at least one public signal for it.
This note isolates one public clue. Use the blocker page for the larger pattern.

Public-safe boundary
Private layer stays private
Notes can publish the observation, but not the exact company diagnosis, contacts, or correction path.

Observation
- 331 of 334 companies showed at least one public signal for this blocker.
- The buyer can feel drift before they can explain it.
- 325 of 331 paired it with proof friction, which is why the public note stops at diagnosis instead of publishing the full next move.
First check
Ask what the next decision is, who owns it, and what would make delay no longer feel safe.
Risk if this is misread
If this is misread, teams often react to competitor noise while the deal is already dying in drift.
What the brief adds
The brief tells one company which decision boundary needs to become crisp first, which explanation is distracting the team, and what should stay parked for now. The brief keeps the company-specific ownership, scope, and timing distortions private.
Closing
If the next decision never becomes crisp enough, delay becomes the easiest answer. The brief keeps the company-specific ownership, scope, and timing distortions private.
