# Assessment 15 #### Companies that wait 24+ months face higher implementation costs primarily because technology becomes more expensive over time. * [ ] True * False Notes to Learners Technology costs DECREASE (IoT sensors: $50 to $5-15; blockchain costs dropped 60-70%). Higher delayed costs come from **urgency premiums**: compressed timelines, premium staffing, parallel work streams. Strategic 18-month implementation: $1.1M. Same work in 6 months under pressure: $1.7M. Waiting isn't conservative—it increases cost and risk. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
