Match tool evaluation effort to irreversibility, not complexity or anxiety—allocate maximum deliberation to tools where switching costs are high (years of data, muscle memory, workflow dependencies) and minimal deliberation to tools where switching is cheap.
When evaluating new tools, define three specific measurable criteria before beginning trial and set evaluation period between 14-30 days, as shorter periods miss friction and longer periods activate sunk cost bias.
