- Tragedy of the Commons Nine programmes competing for shared delivery capacity. No programme gets enough to succeed. Each draws from the same pool of overloaded staff.
- Intervention 3: Portfolio Ruthlessness Pause six programmes. Focus on three selected by an independent panel. Publish one-page delivery contracts. Conduct genuine post-mortems on WCCIS and OpenEyes.
- The Hiring Trap DHCW grew from 675 to roughly 1,263 staff — an increase of 87%. Delivery got worse.
