    Why feedback tools fail at judgment

    Most tools collect opinions.

    Decisions fail because of judgment.

    Surveys

    • Surveys flatten nuance
    • They remove stakes
    • They reward speed, not thought
    • They hide power dynamics

    "People answer surveys differently than they judge real choices."

    Advisors

    • Advisors bring experience, but limited perspective
    • They are filtered through their own incentives
    • They scale poorly

    "Advisors reduce uncertainty. They do not create perspective coverage."
