Yeah, “business impact” is measured entirely on a short-term basis.

In 3-4 years when you need to make a drastic change, that’s when the actual business impact comes into play, but this is never measured.

In my experience with some groups, waiting another 2-3 months to do things correctly would have saved years in future work.
