Fate — A polished output still needs a purpose.

Output is easy to count

Documents, summaries, and dashboards are visible. Their number can grow without making a decision easier or a task better.

I want to know who uses a result, what they do with it, and what improves afterward.

Some outputs support another process rather than a person reading every word. They still need a clear role and quality standard.

Producing more material for people to inspect can simply move the workload instead of reducing it.

If an output has no useful destination, revise it, combine it, or consider stopping it.
