The waste beneath the work
Drag hides in the spaces between people.
Rework
Teams rebuild what should have been understood, approved, or documented earlier.
Context switching
Attention fragments when knowledge and responsibility are distributed without design.
Decision bottlenecks
Work queues around a few people because authority has not been architected.
Duplicated work
Parallel teams solve the same problems because the system does not reveal itself.
Knowledge loss
Critical operating knowledge leaves with memory, messages, and individual interpretation.
Primary services
Services are introduced only after the discipline is understood.
