Checkpoints vs. Performative Rituals (QBR Theater)

Regular, small "checkpoints" that genuinely close a loop — did we do the thing, what did we learn — are undervalued compared to performative quarterly rituals like QBRs, where a lot of ceremony happens but nothing has actually shipped in between. The ritual with the bigger production value isn't necessarily the one doing the real work of tracking progress; it can function as theater instead.
