Prioritization

Clear alternatives make it easier for others to select the outcome that matters most. A boundary framed as a choice helps others hear leadership and prioritization. The priority script prevents new work from being added unless something else is removed. Framing a boundary through alternatives turns it into a decision about resources, timing, and importance. Asking what to drop makes tradeoffs explicit. The suggested phrasing asks decision-makers to choose which outcome matters more right now. A priority script should be used when a developer is challenged or redirected.
