A temporary spreadsheet becomes permanent.
One quick workaround stays for 5 years.
Another tool gets added because nobody wants to touch the old process.
Over time:
Nobody knows the real workflow.
Data exists in too many places.
Teams stop trusting the system.
The company becomes slower not because of growth.
Because complexity compounds.
This is something we see often at BrainPack. Most organizations do not collapse from one big technical failure. They slowly accumulate operational friction over years of temporary decisions.
