Try this
- State which options remain open and whether more information is needed.
- Agree on a next action only if it would help. Do not invent a deadline or a task merely to make the conversation look resolved.
A worked example
“We have not chosen yet. Let’s each think about the two options.”
An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.
Before you leave it here
Do not call uncertainty a failure or quietly act as if your preferred option was accepted.
