Before vs. after

Before
Work is delivered correctly, but the methodology isn't attributed to you. Others replicate processes without citing the source. You're consulted after issues arise, not before.
After
Your approach is named, reused, and expected. Teams adopt your templates by default. Leadership seeks your input early. You're recognized as the foundation of execution integrity.
