Week 8 Audit: Measuring the wrong thing

A care/relational audit --- when a pitch's efficiency numbers answer a question nobody needed answered

26 April 2027

Every objection so far has either disputed a number in the pitch or added context the pitch left out. This week’s economic breaking-changes section does neither — it accepts the pitch’s numbers and argues they were never the right numbers to look at. That’s a harder move to make well, and worth being able to name precisely.

Before the session#

Bring one number from this week’s pitch, and one sentence on what question it actually answers versus what question the reader assumes it answers.

In the session#

Paired close-reading: swap the “measuring the wrong thing” argument onto an earlier week’s notice and see whether it applies there too, or whether something about care work specifically makes it fit here and not elsewhere.

Afterwards#

Your Weekly Audit Log entry this week should include one industry, not from this course, where you suspect the same measuring-the-wrong-thing move is happening.
