Most failures pass validation.

They meet requirements.

They follow process.

Then a decision lands in the real world - and no one can clearly explain who owned it, why it was made, or how it could have been stopped.

That is not a technical failure.

It is an architectural one.

This work focuses on systems where:

I don’t optimize for speed, persuasion, or adoption. I optimize for decisions that remain defensible when questioned later.
