Strategy switching costs: what do you actually pay when you change?

Switching strategies costs more than time: the new one starts untested, the old one's lessons go unused, and the switch itself often hides an emotional reaction to a loss. The costs are real and invisible.

What did switching cost you?

• the strategy you left and why
• what the transition actually cost
• how you now evaluate a potential switch

The expectancy guide argues for earning the sample before judging a strategy.
