#PDCA

PDCA is the ritual of endlessly rewriting plans to avoid genuine action. Do becomes a token execution, Check a self-loathing session over past selves, and Act a cursed loop that spawns reports instead of results. In corporate lore, this infinite cycle is worshipped as true success. Only by continuing the cycle can one claim victory in its name.

Root Cause Analysis is the sacred ritual by which organizations claim to dive into the heart of a problem, yet in reality validate endless meetings and slide decks. The 'true cause' once found is often redefined as a formatting issue in the report, requiring infinite resubmissions, thus acquiring an eternal quality. While preaching the nobility of process improvement, it ultimately celebrates the paradox of blaming no one. It is the one product corporations churn out more prolifically than human errors.
