Tom Peters touchpoint
What gets worse if this stays unclear?
The useful method is not the hero. The pressure read is.
The owner needs more discipline, more tools, or a cleaner plan.
The next move is still too foggy, too large, or too private to meet reality.
Delay is not neutral. It charges cash, trust, attention, and timing.

Do not buy the wrong fix.
The prompt is not good enough.
This is usually the visible explanation.
The prompt is missing external reality.
This is the part that matters.
Ask for the smallest market-contact action and do it before the next prompt.
The first move should create evidence.
