Dealing with Toxicity (Legacy)
As components evolve, parts of your value chain become liabilities. These plays help you offload, contain, or exploit them before they drag you down.
Recognising toxicity early is key. The longer you wait, the more expensive it becomes. Done effecively, they allow you to remove or monetize legacy systems without derailing the organization.

📄️ Refactoring
Internally reorganizing and repurposing components of a legacy system to salvage value or reduce toxicity. Refactoring means breaking the old asset into parts, reassigning useful parts to new roles, and eliminating the rest. Akin to code refactoring in software, but applied to business assets.
