The Senior Taste Tax: Why Your Best Editors Are Your Biggest Bottleneck

The 3-part problem:

1. The taste tax. Hours lost to subjective, back-and-forth reviews on every edit trying to capture the 'brand' feel.

2. Tacit knowledge doesn't scale. The judgment lives only in your seniors' heads - and walks out the door when they leave.

3. Demand is exploding. To perform, every story now has to ship as multiple cuts - one for each platform.
