{"slug":"tjboudreaux-thinking-opportunity-cost","name":"thinking-opportunity-cost","description":"Before committing scarce time, people, or money, name the best forgone use of those resources and the value delta of the chosen path versus that alternative.","long_description":"---\nname: thinking-opportunity-cost\ndescription: Before committing scarce time, people, or money, name the best forgone use of those resources and the value delta of the chosen path versus that alternative.\ndisable-model-invocation: true\n---\n\n# Opportunity Cost\n\nCore rule: every commitment displaces its best alternative. Report both that forgone value and the net value delta; decide on the delta, not the chosen path alone.\n\n## When to Use\n\n- Allocating scarce time, headcount, budget, or attention across competing options\n- Feature prioritization, build-vs-buy, tech-debt vs product work\n- Saying yes to a large commitment that displaces other work\n- Comparing a bold path against polishing the status quo when windows may close\n\n## When NOT to Use\n\n- Trivial or cheaply reversible choices where analysis costs more than the resource\n- No real alternative use (resource is idle, earmarked, or non-fungible)\n- Mandatory work (compliance, security fix, hard dependency) with no optional alternative\n- Inventing speculative alternatives only to look rigorous when the next-best is clearly worse\n\n## Procedure\n\n1. **State the commitment.** Name the choice, the scarce resource units (eng-weeks, dollars, calendar), and the decision horizon.\n2. **List real alternatives, including do-nothing.** At least: proposed option, next-best productive use of the same resources, and status quo / wait. Drop fantasy options with no owner or feasibility.\n3. **Value each path.** For each alternative, estimate direct value, strategic value, risk, and time-to-value in the same units. Prefer rough comparable magnitudes over fake precision.\n4. **Compute best forgone value and value delta.** Identify the single best non-chosen alternative (may be do-nothing). `best_forgone_value` = its estimated value. `value_delta` = `chosen_value − best_forgone_value` (same units). True cost of choosing = direct cost of the choice + `best_forgone_value`. Prefer the option with the superior (positive) value delta after risk; a large positive chosen value is not enough if the forgone alternative is larger.\n5. **Future tradeoff / permanent forgone options.** For serious alternatives (including the bold path): mark temporary recoverable costs vs permanent losses (window closes, lock-in, no re-entry). Prefer avoiding the greater permanent loss when acting downside is recoverable and non-catastrophic—even if near-term value_delta is slightly negative. Do not invent permanence for speculative upside without evidence.\n6. **Strongest countercase and decide.** Steel the case that the best alternative or its value is misidentified (sunk-cost anchoring, status-quo undervalued, or a \"free\" option that still burns time). Recompute `value_delta` under that challenge. Then choose: proceed if delta stays favorable (or permanent-loss rule applies), else switch, wait, or split. Stop when ranking is stable.\n\n## Output\n\n```text\nChoice: …\nResources committed: …\nAlternatives:\n  A (proposed): value … risk …\n  B (next-best): value … risk …\n  C (do-nothing / wait): value … risk …\nBest forgone alternative: …\nBest forgone value: …\nValue delta (chosen_value − best_forgone_value): …\nPermanent vs temporary losses: …\nDecision: proceed | switch | wait | split — because value_delta … (and permanent-loss rule if used)\nCountercase checked: …\n```\n\n## Verification\n\n- **Falsify:** If the analysis never names a concrete next-best use of the same resources, or reports only one number labeled both \"opportunity cost\" and \"delta,\" it is incomplete—add B, then report `best_forgone_value` and `value_delta` separately.\n- **Stop:** When one best forgone alternative and a signed value delta determine the choice, stop enumerating weaker options.\n- **Over-application guard:** Do not run full accounting on mandatory or trivial work. Ignore sunk costs; revalue only from current state forward.\n","tagline":"Before committing scarce time, people, or money, name the best forgone use of those resources and the value delta of the chosen path versus that alternative.","category":"research","tags":["agent-skill"],"author":"tjboudreaux","verified":false,"attribution":{"status":"registry_indexed","statusLabel":"Registry indexed","shortLabel":"REGISTRY INDEXED","sourceLabel":"github fast track","sourceDetail":"tjboudreaux/cc-thinking-skills","creatorName":"tjboudreaux","creatorUrl":"https://github.com/tjboudreaux","sourceUrl":"https://github.com/tjboudreaux/cc-thinking-skills/tree/main/skills/thinking-opportunity-cost","indexedBy":"OpenAgentSkill community index","claimUrl":"https://www.openagentskill.com/skills/tjboudreaux-thinking-opportunity-cost#claim-this-skill","claimCta":"Claim this skill","trustNote":"This listing was indexed from public sources and is not marked official until a maintainer claim is approved.","publicNote":"Attribution links to the public repository or creator profile.
