You mean… by making a forward-looking estimates of cost, time-to-value, return? (even if it's implicit, not documented, vibes-based?).

When devs refuse to estimate, it just pushes the estimating up the org chart. Execs still have to commit resources and do sequencing. They’ll just do it with less information.

What you're asking is the equivalent of going to a company whose equity you've bought and asking them: what's the price going to be in 6 months' time?
