Every plan has a pivot point, a place where one slip can throw everything off balance. That's why I map out every possible angle and keep a margin for error. Mistakes are inevitable, but if you anticipate them you can still steer the ship.

Defiance is a variable I can't calculate, but I treat it like a rogue variable in a model—keep it isolated, observe its impact, and design a fallback. That’s the only way to keep the rest of the plan on track.
