The Wound
Over-push
Drawing a lane or an anchor harder than it can bear, because the schedule says so.
In full
The named operational sin of the frontier era: the margin gets eaten, the anchor is pulled harder than the eye can see, and a vane starts singing wrong before anyone can prove why. It is the human act that converts a slow cost into a visible failure — and it is always committed for a defensible commercial reason.
Key facts
- Eats the operating margin deliberately.
- Felt by engineers before it can be proved.
- Converts a gradual cost into a sudden failure.
- Commercially rational every single time.
