Agreed. Although, we have to balance somewhat:
1) we want to make "c" hard enough that projects will endeavor to
choose "a" or "b" first.
2) if "c" becomes too costly, then the whole design may be done
closed, only requiring a restart (or refusal to participate) because
they missed the initial feedback that would have gotten had they taken
road "c".
In other words, I think we want the cost of "c" to be high enough that
they choose "a" or "b" if at all possible, but not so high that they
omit the early review altogether.
