Boardroom. On one side: Equity – polished, confident, smelling of bonus. ​ In the other corner, one guys… the maintainer.
The topic? Lightbulbs. ​ Yes, lightbulbs. ​ The client says: ​ The equity guy raises an eyebrow. ​ The client’s consultant jumps in: ​ CJV can’t help it. ​ Silence. Eyes rolling.
