File 006

Department of Questionable Decisions

For brave plans, doomed optimism, overbuilt systems, and the sacred sentence: "the plan has vibes."

The bit

Why it keeps coming back.

The Department of Questionable Decisions honors plans that were not wise, exactly, but did have momentum.

The bit starts with confidence, finds no evidence, proceeds anyway, and somehow leaves minutes behind.

Proceeding without evidence.
