Include enabling effort when comparing an apparently small high-value task.
The decision evaluates enabling work together with the proposed outcome, instead of comparing incomplete task costs.

Start with the invented evidence, follow the reasoning, and retain its limits when adapting the brief.
01 · Inspect the inputs
Every record stays visible
| Option | Implementation | Prerequisite | Total | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 3 hours | 5 hours | 8 hours | 9 |
| B | 6 hours | 0 additional | 6 hours | 8 |

How the case leads to a decision
A isolated=9/3=3, but bundle=9/8=1.125. B=8/6≈1.333. The declared ratio rule selects B only after the full enabling demand is included.
The bounded result
Compare A’s eight-hour bundle with B’s six hours. Under the stated points-per-hour policy, B has the larger ratio; A’s isolated implementation ratio is misleading.
Definitions and method context

Decision desk
Decide before adding more work
Decision to make: Compare A’s eight-hour bundle with B’s six hours. Under the stated points-per-hour policy, B has the larger ratio; A’s isolated implementation ratio is misleading.
Synthetic planning case: Task A claims nine declared points for three implementation-hours but requires five prerequisite-hours. B offers eight points for six hours with no additional prerequisite in the model.
Compare the actual bundles
Owner role · Planner
Evidence: A uses eight hours and B six under this model.
Check prerequisite reuse separately
Owner role · Decision owner
Evidence: Any claim that A’s enabler benefits other work is evaluated explicitly before changing the comparison.
Filled manual planning note
Invented planning text. Adapt it to your evidence and confirmed owners.
Compare A’s eight-hour bundle with B’s six hours. Under the stated points-per-hour policy, B has the larger ratio; A’s isolated implementation ratio is misleading. A isolated=9/3=3, but bundle=9/8=1.125. B=8/6≈1.333. The declared ratio rule selects B only after the full enabling demand is included. Prerequisite effort and preference points are invented. Dependencies, reused inputs and hard constraints must be verified in real work.
Questions about this workflow
Can a shared enabler be charged differently?
Possibly, but its allocation and benefits need a stated portfolio rule; this case charges it entirely to A.
Does the ratio dictate every priority decision?
No. It is one declared local preference rule, not a universal value or deadline policy.
Does this create tasks in the product?
No. The brief is a manual planning resource. Use the product access link to check onboarding and the workflows available in your account.
Put the outline to work
- Identify enabling obligations. Check: A’s five-hour prerequisite is necessary and not already supplied.
- Compare the actual bundles. Check: A uses eight hours and B six under this model.
- Check prerequisite reuse separately. Check: Any claim that A’s enabler benefits other work is evaluated explicitly before changing the comparison.
