Like a Deer Caught in the Headlights

"If you're wrong, you will die. But most companies don't die because they are wrong; most die because they don't commit themselves. They fritter away their valuable resources while attempting to make a decision. The greatest danger is in standing still." — Andrew S. Grove, Only the Paranoid Survive

All teams hit analysis paralysis at some point. Getting out should be your number one priority. While you wait and lose momentum, time runs out and cash burns. Inaction tends to cost more than mistakes.

Go make mistakes.

PS: If you need one more minute of procrastination, listen to Willem Dafoe talk about trying to fail here.
