Changes are made without shared design rules, undocumented logic accumulates, and teams become dependent on whoever last touched the file. The result is usually a workbook that works today but breaks quietly later.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, George works with your team to redesign workflows, establish clear patterns, and build internal capability.
