Reality


Some feedback is about power, not product.

Hard Truth


If a stakeholder pushes visual changes late, it may be:

  • A need for control

  • A visibility signal

  • A way to claim ownership

If you treat it as purely UX, you misread the situation.

Senior Move


Decode intent before reacting.
Respond to the underlying need, not just the comment.

Today’s Action


When facing late-stage feedback, ask yourself:
Is this about usability or authority?
