Agreed on the parallel, mismanagement is mismanagement whether it's people or tokens, and evals-as-OKRs is a sharp way to put it.
One thing worth adding to the context hoarding point: it's not just tribal knowledge people are protecting. It's the last visible proof of what they know. Once that gets encoded into an eval, the person doesn't just lose leverage, they lose the thing that made their value legible to anyone else. That's a harder ask than "share your secret sauce."

Interesting shit. Now every startup will claim they’re a NeoTransformFirm.
This is great
