Define thresholds before observing problems rather than
Define thresholds before observing problems rather than retroactively to preserve threshold as commitment device rather than rationalization.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Humans systematically prefer to be consistent with their (commitment consistency) and Behavior requires an initiating signal to occur at a (behavior requires initiating signal). Pre-commitment prevents in-the-moment rationalization. Prescribes temporal ordering of threshold-setting.
