Right Doesn't Compound

There's a specific kind of being wrong that doesn't feel like being wrong at all. It's being completely right, saying so, in writing, at the right moment — and watching it change nothing, because someone else would have had to give something up for you to be believed. This episode is built from two real moments out of my own consulting career, years apart, same structure: a correct read, delivered on time, quietly buried because acting on it meant costing the wrong person their influence. I stopped asking why nobody listened. I started asking a different question instead. Iconoclast Insights is André Daus — strategic opposition, uncomfortable questions, no comfortable answers.
