Alignment, translated

Another corporate word that sounds like geometry and behaves like shared liability.

Literal vs. office: things line up; then everyone nods so nobody gets blamed alone later.
In the wild: "Just making sure we're aligned" often means "please say yes in writing so this is now everyone's problem."
Say this instead: "Can you confirm by 3 PM: Option B, Alex drafts, Priya reviews tomorrow?"

If the sentence cannot name an owner or a date, it may not be alignment yet.
