Loss of Ductility. The “Material” has been “Work-Hardened.” Every crisis has added another layer of “Hardness” to the process. Eventually, the organisation becomes so hard that it can no longer “Deform” (adapt) without breaking.
// CORE OBSERVATION
Vigilance is not the same as Paranoia. When an organisation has been “burned” before (a failed launch, a bad hire, a lawsuit), it often builds so much “Protective Scar Tissue” (rules/checks) that it can no longer “Flex” enough to grow.

The “Braced” Culture. The team is always waiting for the “other shoe to drop.” There is a thick layer of “Bureaucracy” designed to prevent a specific mistake that happened three years ago. You are fighting the “Last War.”
Stagnant Resilience. You are “Safe” but “Static.” You have survived the past, but you are too “Heavily Armoured” to participate in the future. You are a fortress with no gate.
Softening “Scar Tissue” requires a surgical removal of outdated protections.

This diagnostic pinpoints the bureaucracy that is no longer serving a protective function.
