Immediate post-meeting strategy pivots are a distinct Peter move — the Impromptu Zoom right after Tech Dive Part 2 compressed what would normally be a multi-day cross-functional realignment into a 4-minute internal huddle while the customer frustration was still fresh. Make it visible so it competes for resources is a cross-domain Peter pattern — applied to engineering capacity, Jira hygiene, CVE tracking, and now quality.
