Late Morning: Test the Premise

working claim

Everyone is being careless.

Some signals are being missed.

good enough to test, not good enough to accuse
observed assumed unknown premise dial

cost of being wrong0.81
three missed handoffs one unclear owner two private agreements
Afternoon: Trace Consequences

If the premise changes, the afternoon changes shape.

name uncertainty
ask for a visible owner
separate drift from blame
