Relationships first
Nothing is treated as isolated. What it connects to is read before it's acted on.
Impact
One change never stays where you put it.
Switch between the three examples on the right. Same structure every time: what's directly hit, what moves further out, and what Grace openly cannot see.

Direct Further out Beyond Grace
Directly affected
- Pricing for a new service
- Daily schedule and travel time
- Which customers it suits
Affected further out
- Monthly income and costs
- Website and social content
- Insurance and terms
Grace cannot see
- Local demand Grace has no data on
- Anything agreed verbally and never written down
One small business decision, traced from the change itself out to the things it quietly moves.
Blast radius, in plain terms.
Blast radius is simply everything a change can reach. Grace calculates it before acting, and refuses to act where it extends beyond what she's allowed to touch or verify.
Origin, not surface
Consequences are traced back to where they start, so action lands on the cause.
Unknowns are named
Risk includes what Grace cannot see. Gaps are stated, not worked around silently.
Verification required
Where impact is real, proof is required. Confidence alone isn't enough.
