The premise
Most operations are noisier than they need to be.
The first time it lands isn't dramatic. It's a Tuesday afternoon, watching a smart team explain their week. They're tired. They're doing real work. And they're also, for thirty minutes of every hour, doing things a machine should be doing.
Pasting numbers between systems. Reformatting spreadsheets that arrived in the wrong shape. Running scripts nobody fully understands.
That's the noise. Not the dramatic kind. The quiet, accepted kind. Invisible until somebody points at it. Costly until somebody removes it.
