I need to think about it.

"Totally hear you — and ‘think about it’ usually means there’s something specific you’re trying to weigh, not the whole package. Quick one before I step out of your way: is the thing you’re weighing the price, the timing, or whether this is even the right problem to solve first? Whatever it is, I’d rather know now than have you sit on it for a month."

"Most of the time ‘let me think about it’ isn’t really about thinking — it’s about not wanting to say the actual concern out loud. My job isn’t to push past it; it’s to make the conversation safe enough that whatever you’re actually weighing comes into the open. If there’s a piece I haven’t shown you yet, that’s on me — and I’d like to find it before you go."

"I won’t ask you to decide anything right now. What I will ask is — when you sit with it tonight, will you actually be weighing this on its own merits, or will you be weighing it against whoever isn’t in this conversation and would want a say? If it’s the second one, let’s talk about how to bring them in, because a ‘no’ from the absent voice is what stalls these things past the point where they could still move."
