Manufactured urgency
Risk & psychologyAlso called: Artificial deadline, Limited period offer
A deadline created by whoever is selling, rather than by any mechanism of the market — a closing launch price, an offer valid until month-end, a rate approved only today.
In plain terms
The test is one sentence: what specifically is worse for me if I decide in six weeks? If the answer is only a different price on a product that remains available, there is no deadline.
