I had a list quietly throwing away nine out of every ten records and I did not notice for two weeks.
Nothing broke. No error. The file just came back smaller than it should have and I assumed the market was small.
What caught it was running the whole thing past a second set of eyes that does not get tired, does not skim, and does not assume it already knows the answer. It flagged the column in about a minute. Two weeks of my attention versus one minute.
That is genuinely what this does well. It does not decide anything. It notices.
The judgment about what to do next was still mine, and that part does not get handed over. But finding the hole I had walked past twenty times, I will take the help.
What is something you missed for weeks that was obvious once somebody pointed at it?
