Argues that changing code requires changing people, not just policies, and gives a repeatable justify / understand / plan / execute / analyze / track process. Implements a custom ESLint/stylelint rule and a reporting script that aggregates violations by team; initial enforcement in CI triggers a revert when a team ships a big feature, leaving ~40 violations, then a second rollout adds editor plugins, office hours, training and documentation and drives violations to zero. Claims 50% of change initiatives fail and shows concrete metrics and tooling.
