Decision Engineering™ - Issue #004
The rules were followed. That was the problem.
Issue #004 is live.
Two institutions. Two sectors. The same structural failure.
Wirecard had a regulatory classification. It also had a balance sheet that had long since outgrown that classification. For years, nobody asked whether the rules still governed the institution they were written for.
Orpea had a care mandate. It also had 1,100 facilities across 23 countries. The rules set minimums. The minimums were met. The institution those minimums were designed for had ceased to exist.
This issue examines what happens when rules are followed precisely - and the outcome is catastrophic anyway. And what three mechanisms would have changed.
