| Not now | No commitment | Recognized as an opportunity but deliberately chosen not to address it at this time, possibly due to resource constraints or competing priorities. |
| Later | Committed (Moderate Confidence) | Committed (for now) to solving the Opportunity. Confidence is relatively high that it’s an opportunity worth addressing, but this is subject to change. |
| Next | Committed | Committed and will begin work soon to start addressing the opportunity. It may be the case that the opportunity is currently being researched or solutions being identified. |
| Now | Committed | Committed and work is actively underway to address it. It’s best if there is an identified solution associated with an opportunity in Now - if not, solutioning should be underway. |
