More people. More budget. More tools. More time. One constraint tends to set off the next, and the next makes the first one worse. Those four constraints look alike from a distance. Up close, they're different problems with different fixes.

Finance is forecasting off the numbers it was handed. Every function is optimizing exactly what it was told to optimize, and the sum of three locally correct answers is one globally incoherent picture.

You cannot fire your way out of this. You cannot hire your way out of it either.
