The replatform was the strategy
What a team can execute is set by what its tools allow. Infrastructure is a strategic choice wearing an operational disguise.
Four times across four organizations the highest-leverage move was changing what the team was working with rather than what it was working on — an email platform migration, a move to Shopify OS 2.0, a replatform off a custom headless build, new measurement tooling.
Capability constrains strategy. Raising the ceiling on execution is usually cheaper than out-executing inside a low one.
