Why this topic matters
In a world where AI accelerates execution
misalignment gets amplified.
Product teams don’t fail because of bad strategy.
They fail because people use the same words… and mean different things.
Alignment is a language problem.
You don’t fix this with: more meetings, better tools, stricter processes.
You fix it by making meaning explicit.
