Find the ceiling approach to velocity

Situation

Rather than incrementally improving 5% at a time safely, push until something breaks, then figure out if the breakage is fixable or a real ceiling. Air cover provided for aggressive experiments. Nobody gets fired for trying to go fast and breaking things.

Reasoning

Incremental improvement is too slow for CIQs situation. Finding the actual ceiling through controlled failure is faster than guessing at safe speeds. If we fall over because were going too quickly, we learn whether thats fixable or a real limit. Either way we learn faster than cautious iteration.

Additional Context

Peter providing explicit air cover for aggressive experimentation. One year runway means incremental improvement wont save us - need to find step functions.

Observed Evidence

Peter: "I want to be able to stop and ask, okay, can we fix that reason that we fell over so that we can keep going fast? Or is that an indication that were at a speed ceiling right now?" and "Can we go find the ceiling? And Im not saying we should do it that way... But the thought experiment I want to go through is Im willing to give you all the air cover you need" and "Nobody here is going to get fired or punished or anything in the next year for saying, we tried going fast enough that it burns things"
