Should I Stay, Shift, or Let Go?
Evaluating Whether a Commitment Should Continue, Change, Pause, or End

Some commitments no longer fit cleanly. The purpose may still matter while the role, scope, schedule, cost, or agreement has become unsustainable. A stay-or-leave binary can hide responsible options in between. Using the Stay, Shift, or Release Test, William R. Stanek helps you evaluate one commitment through purpose, evidence, cost, repairability, obligations, alternatives, power, and safety. You will identify whether to continue, redesign, pause, or end—and choose the next reversible step before making an irreversible decision.
