The thermodynamics framing clicks. I work in construction management and see this daily — a 30-minute site coordination meeting that "could have been an email" often prevents days of rework. The energy yield is invisible in any spreadsheet but very real in outcomes.
The trust angle is key too. High-trust crews align in one standup. Low-trust projects produce the same meeting but only CYA documentation — all the time, none of the energy.
