READ FOR THE FRACTURE AUTHORITY FINDS™
In the private sector the wrong person costs a company; in public office they cost a public that never chose them for the trait that matters. The failure mode is specific: integrity that holds under ordinary conditions and collapses under the particular pressure of unaccountable power, discretionary budgets, and no one watching the terminal stroke. These candidates do not interview as corrupt — they interview as exemplary, because the pattern only breaks where authority meets opacity. This reads for the fracture that appears under that exact load.
