Failure modes unique to this brief

• Treating Platform policy shifts Field Guide for Startups — 2026 like a checklist you finish once.
• Ignoring messy historical tooling while copying another team’s playbook.
• Skipping update timestamp because “we’ll add process later.”

Standardizing around signal vs noise filtering reduces that waste for in-house growth teams. You still move fast—but through controlled cycles instead of permanent firefighting.
