Show HN: A hands-on protocol to stop the "Implementation Death Spiral"

2•apetchesi•1h ago
Text: I’ve spent years watching IT implementations fail across a variety of environments for the same "un-technical" reasons. Despite having more sophisticated tools and data than ever, the industry still suffers from a persistent "Knowledge Chasm"—a structural gap where the essential logic of a project lives only in the heads of a few "Local Heroes." When these individuals leave or teams rotate, the project logic resets, leading to cost overruns, quality issues, and systemic frustration.

I am developing a Precision Implementation Protocol to institutionalize this "know-how." It synthesizes high-reliability logic from fields like Advanced Construction Management and Systemic Financial Modeling to bridge the gap between intent, execution, and reality.

Hands-on Implementation over Theory Unlike theoretical frameworks, this is a granular, "hands-on" approach designed for immediate integration into daily activities. It focuses on the specific artifacts and workflows that bridge the gap between a high-level requirement and a physically completed unit of capability. It can be used as a short-term "rescue" for failing projects or as a long-term structural standard to de-risk staff rotations in complex IT environments.

Seeking Feedback: How to Scale and Popularize this Methodology? I am looking for community feedback on how to turn this from a private methodology into a standard that many can benefit from. I want to move this from "my process" to an "industry utility," but I'm looking for the most meaningful way to get people involved.

My Questions for HN: * The Scaling Challenge: Is it possible to productize "expert know-how" without losing the precision required for complex IT systems?

The "Pioneer" Approach: I am considering a community-driven threshold for a full public release—a "Pioneer Program" for practitioners. Is this the right way to build an industry standard, or is there a better way to foster adoption?

Standardization vs. Intellectual Property: To truly end the "Local Hero" trap, this needs to reach global scale. How would you recommend launching this to ensure maximum benefit for the community while maintaining the integrity of the protocol?

Strategic Path: I am open to all paths—community-driven growth, enterprise licensing, or even a strategic acquisition by a firm capable of deploying this as a global standard. What path creates the most value for the industry?

Can you please move it then to the proper threat or erase it all together. This is the first time I posted on this site. Thanks.

I’ve been obsessing over this for a while, but I want to ask the community: Does anyone else recognize this as a systemic issue in our industry? > We see it everywhere—manufacturing, banking, generic enterprise IT. We have more 'methodologies' and 'certifications' than ever, yet the Knowledge Chasm remains. We still rely on a few 'Local Heroes' to carry the project logic in their heads, and when they rotate out, the project hemorrhages value.

Is it possible that our current way of 'implementing' is fundamentally broken because it treats IT like a creative craft rather than a high-precision engineering discipline? I’m moving away from theory and certifications to focus on a 'hands-on' protocol, but I’m curious if others see the same structural rot.
