A single late-stage 'small' change — a UI tweak pushed in at sign-off — sometimes becomes the hill that breaks the roadmap: in one generalized example a late tweak consumed ~160 developer-hours, added six weeks to launch, and ~ $24k in execution cost. Mirko Peters opens with that micro-story and uses it as a springboard for a fresh framing: decision hygiene. He introduces a three-question "decision litmus" that quickly sorts fixes, scoped features, and strategic rewrites; presents a short guest clip from a product/IT lead who lived the consequence; and translates incentives into measurable signals leaders can track. The episode balances the business and engineering perspectives, offers lightweight costing heuristics, and delivers a one-page Decision Litmus checklist listeners can download and use immediately. Practical, number-backed steps, templates, and governance habits make this more than another scope-creep lecture — it’s a field guide for stopping 'just one more' before it becomes debt.
