Find the real question behind the stated one

When the decision keeps stalling and the reasons given do not explain why.

I have stated a question, but I suspect it is not the one that matters.

1. What decision sits underneath this question? A question that is not attached to a decision usually has another one hiding behind it.
2. What would I do differently depending on the answer? If the answer does not change anything, tell me, and find the question that would.
3. Is the stated question a proxy for something harder to say out loud: a disagreement with someone, a concern about risk, a preference I have not admitted?
4. Reframe it. Give me two or three better questions and say which one to answer first.
5. If the stated question is in fact the right one, say so instead of reframing for the sake of it.

My question, and the context around it:

Framing the decision. Working out what is really being decided, how reversible it is, and whose call it should be.
