Practically, lead with a minimal viable illumination: a 20-minute probe, a pilot, a one-page brief, or a visual dashboard that makes progress public.

Maintain credibility by matching signals to swift follow-through; reliable flares build reputational capital.
In this way, you do not wait for perfect visibility; you manufacture it. Light the first flare, let the revealed edges guide the second, and continue until the fog thins into a path—the modest beginning by which a new day reliably starts. [...]
