The Condition
A decision is taken in a hurry.
A product ships without final review.
A risk sits just under the threshold.
An exception is granted because the person is trusted.
A system output is accepted because challenging it would slow things down.
Nothing explodes.
The numbers look fine.
The dashboard stays green.
The meeting moves on.
Weeks later, a similar decision appears.
This time, no one raises the question.
By the time anyone notices the pattern, it no longer feels like a choice.
It feels like how things are done.
