Same pattern, different domain.
Costs are cut.
Margins improve.
Growth stalls.
Detection answers: “Did the number move?”
It does NOT answer: “Did the business improve?”
Market share doesn’t move.
That requires:
- context
- comparison
- outcomes
A number without context feels precise.
Precision is not meaning.
Most people stop at detection.
That’s where reasoning starts to go wrong.
The question isn’t what you can measure.
It’s what matters.
Solve the right problem.
