Not the thing you think is broken. The actual constraint.
MakeInfrastructureBoringAgain.com How we find the real constraint Evidence first. Decisions follow. 60s interactive explainer. →“We feel like deployments are slow” is not a finding. “Deployments average 47 minutes with a p99 of 3 hours” is. Findings are grounded in observed behavior and artifacts.
When one person is critical to operations, the system is already failing. Accountability focuses on structure, not heroics.
Complexity accumulates by default. Most recovery comes from removing paths, systems, and exceptions.
Recommendations are ignorable. Decisions create ownership, constraint, and consequence.
This is not facilitation. Evidence is gathered directly from systems, incidents, and execution paths.
Findings are delivered as observed. No socialization, mitigation, or narrative adjustment.
The work concludes with decisions recorded. Implementation and execution remain the organization’s responsibility.
These conditions apply to every engagement.

This is not proposed in advance.
It exists only at the organization's request, after accountability is established.
