> I agree, and I see this as a good thing. It’s akin to the tension one feels when asked “well, what does this positive change you’d like to see actually look like practically? How would you know it when it happens?” The fact that this dependency chain exists means it puts some burden on us (or at least those of us who find value in this methodology) to address this as the primary bottleneck. And yet, ruminating on this very point has led me to reconsider whether this dependency chain is well…

CRC 0: No agreed process for updating the trees  
↓  
Revision suggestions depend on informal authority, charisma, persistence, or the original author’s judgment  
↓  
Participants may not trust the trees as shared artifacts  
↓  
The group hesitates to let the trees organize consequential R&D  
↓  
Throughput definition becomes premature or contested  
↓  
The group cannot confidently move into the dependency chain  
↓
