Slow failure insight
The hardest failures I have seen are not dramatic.
They look like steady progress.
Weekly updates.
Encouraging feedback.
A full roadmap.
Everything appears healthy on the surface.
But underneath, one or two core assumptions never really got tested. They just stayed convenient.
By the time the problem becomes obvious, too much time and energy is already invested to change easily.
I am wondering how others here have learned to spot this earlier.
What was the earliest signal you ignored the last time something slowly drifted off course?
