<p>One of the most challenges aspects of <a class="wikilink" href="/entrepreneurship/">entrepreneurship</a> is that information will never be complete. We can strive to understand <em>the market</em>, but it's always going to be ambiguous. Even for more practical aspects, such as choosing a specific technology, the color of a product, or committing to a marketing strategy. </p>

It can also be better flexibility to let previous decisions go as soon as proven incorrect. In any case, all the approaches prevent the <a class="wikilink" href="/indecision_freeze/">indecision freeze</a>.</p>
