Most digital systems don’t “break.”
They fade.
They become slower… not unusable.
They become riskier… not obviously compromised.
They become unreliable… but only sometimes.
And because the decline is gradual, leaders adapt to it.
Until one day, everyone agrees the same sentence is normal:
“It’s been acting weird lately.”
That sentence is not a minor inconvenience.
It’s the sound of continuity dying quietly.
