A

A: I can't see this plan producing results that justify the cost.

B

B: Do you mean the numerical basis is weak?

A

A: That too, but the more fundamental problem is that the measure of success itself has not been fixed. If we proceed while what counts as success is vague, there will be no way to evaluate it afterwards.

B

B: Quite right. That said, waiting for the measures to be settled risks missing the moment.

A

A: In that case, one could also try it on a small scale first and build the measures from the results.

B

B: I see. So it isn't a choice between going ahead entirely and cancelling.
