Understand the attention an open decision can consume, and the limits of the retired assessment score.

The Clarity Tax names the attention and momentum an open decision can consume. The former Behirut assessment expressed this through a reflection score; that public assessment is now retired. The idea remains useful as a question: what is leaving this choice open costing you? It is not a financial, clinical, or scientifically validated measurement.
Recognizing friction
An open decision can return to your attention during meetings, family time, or quiet moments. Notice what keeps bringing it back.
The retired assessment used questions about deadlines, ownership, and clarity. North early access does not calculate that score or provide a profile.
Using the idea
Ask what would help you make progress: a missing fact, a conversation, a deadline, or time to think.
The goal is not to rush every decision. It is to distinguish useful waiting from a loop that no longer helps.
