Ninety days of scars
Ninety days ago I started enforcing corrections outside the model. This week I pulled the first real metrics, and it is a mixed result. The busiest hook gets ignored 62% of the time, two of my own tools disagreed about the same number, and the dashboard stayed green while a whole layer was dead.
