What it is
Instincts, not skills.
They turn up whether the job calls for them or not. That is what makes this a dimension and not a skill.
You steer by the destination. Before anything else you want to know what finished looks like, how anyone will tell, and whose name is on it. Effort and process only count if they move the thing closer — and you hold yourself to that before you hold anybody else to it. Having you there stops the quiet kind of drift: the meeting that decides nothing, the project that never ships, the goal that slides a little further out every three months.
