decisive argument *is* the decision** — taking it to a human afterwards is a

🤝 **And the short list is not a list of things somebody dictates.** The axis

⚠️ An objection is held to the same standard as everything else here. *"I
would rather not"* is not one; **"it contradicts X", "it cannot be measured",
"it breaks Y"** are. A veto without grounds is the same emptiness as a
question without grounds, pointed the other way.

🔸 One of the four is the owner's alone, and the reason is observability
rather than authority: **what the spend is worth cannot be agreed to, because
