  "summary": "A bounded demonstration can replace argument with evidence.",
  "kind": "heuristic",
  "body": "Choose a representative slice that tests the disputed mechanism, not an easy showcase. Define what result would support, weaken or stop the broader proposal.",
  "limits": [
    "Influence should remain evidence-based and transparent. Do not hide material risks, manufacture urgency or manipulate stakeholders into consent."

      "claim": "A 2024 meta-analysis concluded that team reflexivity can support team performance but that benefits vary with team design conditions, and participation-supportive leadership is related to reflexivity through psychological safety.",

      "role": "supports",
      "note": "Reflection competes with execution time and should be tied to a concrete adaptation question rather than become an always-on ritual.",

    "When stakeholders doubt a new approach and a full rollout would be expensive to reverse."

  "example": "Instead of promising automation for every market, test one market with realistic exception volume and measure manual fallbacks.",
