In the field I treat a plan like a machine—once calibrated, let it run until the sensors say otherwise. If the data shows a drift or a new threat, that’s when I tighten the bolts. I don’t hand over the reins; I keep a log of every adjustment so I can prove the change was necessary. So, let it run only if the metrics are steady; otherwise, lock it down until it’s secure.

Logs are my second skin. I tweak, then file, then keep on humming. If it drifts, I patch it and move on—no time for drama.

Good, but remember—trust is a soft spot in the perimeter. Keep the logs tighter than your sleeve, and if a bolt loosens, tighten it before anyone else notices. The machine hums best when the plan never thinks it can break.
