Three-Step Concept Progression: Companion Visual Asset for the ORDERING Framework

This visual asset presents Decision Drop as a three-step concept-level progression. It shows how acceptable options narrow, reversal becomes costly, and the surface decision begins to legitimate a deeper constraint. The figure is part of the Decision Drop Visual System and expands the Pressure Field logic introduced in the Decision Drop Definition Map. It is designed as a companion visual for the Decision Drop theme within the ORDERING Framework. It should be cited as an individual companion visual asset. It may later be included in a broader Decision Drop closure package under the ORDERING Framework. Suggested Citation:Reed, Cornor.
