# Decision Sheet

 Should We Take One More Project?

 This is not a delivery decision.  
 It is a system impact decision.

 → This decision is not about execution.  
 → It is about whether the system holds.

### Is the system tightening?

 ☐ Cash  
 ☐ Coordination  
 ☐ Subcontractors  
 ☐ Variations

 If yes →

 Where does risk go?

 ☐ Margin  
 ☐ Cash  
 ☐ Company

### Decision:

 Margin → 🟢 GO  
 Cash → 🟡 CONDITIONAL  
 Company → 🔴 STOP

 If the system is tightening → make the decision.

### Final Call

 GO / CONDITIONAL / STOP

### Make the call.

 If the system is tightening, not deciding is also a decision.

 Every decision places risk somewhere.

 Survival is structural.  
 Not operational.
