“Urgency” strikes me as very much the wrong word here. If you want to feel the urgency of e.g. ending animal farming, just watch these numbers tick by for a few seconds. It sounds like you’re pretty directly describing x-risk (which has two distinct flavors). Prioritizing x-risk is a reasonable choice but an outcome or step in the process of cause prioritization, rather than a primary input.

Option value might also be a way of getting at what you describe.
