CTOs, Engineering Directors, Principal Engineers, Engineering Managers3-4 hoursA classified structural risk map — your top friction modules sorted into dicing, slicing and peeling with a governance rule attached

Delivery slows because structural entropy accumulates unmeasured. Classify refactoring into dicing, slicing and peeling to restore predictability.
