Claims / C-PWHXHWJ6P3
Analytic
Procedure ratchets because adding a requirement is credited to whoever adds it, while its cost falls on a project that no single requirement can be blamed for, and nobody is paid to delete one. Klein and Thompson's CHIPS case: a $39 billion fab programme whose stated goal was national security also asked applicants for equity, child-care, supplier-diversity and climate plans, with no trade-off named, and they observe that additions are rarely matched by deletions. An institution that wants to stay fast needs deletion built in: one stated objective that each added condition must be shown to serve, and conditions that lapse unless renewed.
