The gap between goal and process
The goal curve tracks what remains valid. The process curve tracks what this process can still reach.

The goal is real and the process has a live route to it.

The point: the gap between the goal curve and the process curve is where hidden process failure lives. A process can keep moving after its viable future has already collapsed. A stronger process shrinks the gap. A perfect process eliminates it — but perfection is rarely available.
