Insight Compliance
Most research doesn’t fail because it’s wrong.
It fails because it was never designed to carry real decision pressure.
Best practices became the default because they are safe to commission and safe to deliver. Methods repeat. Outputs look polished. No one has to explain an unconventional approach or answer for an unexpected outcome.
Insight Compliance happens when the process matters more than the decision. It is not about lying or bad data. It is precision without consequence. The method runs. The report looks sharp. But the strategy stalls, or moves forward for reasons unrelated to the research.
Insight Compliance isn’t failure.
It’s something more dangerous: the illusion of progress.
