Define 'decision enabled' as the success criterion for each

Define 'decision enabled' as the success criterion for each monitoring activity—if no decision changed in the past 30 days, eliminate the monitoring.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from Directed Attention as Depletable Resource (finite attention resource) and Information and attention have an inverse relationship: a (information poverty). The principle provides a specific test (30-day decision audit) for cost-benefit of monitoring. Highly actionable and prevents monitoring for its own sake.

Monitoring itself costs attention and energy — the overhead must be justified by the value it provides.
