Do not marry the first hand you see.

A closer-looking line can be fragile. A slower-looking line can keep more doors open. Start with a shortlist, then compare what each path asks of you.

DistanceWhat is already working?
FragilityWhich exact tiles or natural pairs must appear?
FlexibilityWhat can still pivot when the table changes?
Table evidenceWhat has become less plausible in public?
