- In short
- Validating an optimization means running an optimized workflow alongside the old approach for a few cycles before fully committing, since not every promoted change is actually an improvement. A change moved into configuration should be proven across several cycles before the old approach is retired, so an optimization that produces worse or less predictable output is caught before it has shipped multiple times to the team. The compounding benefit of a good optimization is matched by the compounding cost of a bad one baked into a shared workflow.
