It usually comes up in small moments. A process isn’t perfect, but it works. A system has a gap, but the team knows how to manage it. Something feels slightly off, but not enough to stop work.

The reason “we’ll fix it later” is so common is because the issue rarely feels urgent when it first appears. It’s usually something small.

A report that needs a quick manual adjustment. A system that doesn’t sync properly, but only sometimes. A workflow that needs one extra step to confirm accuracy.
