These recur — that's the point

An organization can escape Shadow Use, overcorrect into Governed to a Standstill, and land back in Shadow Use eighteen months later. A maturity model would call that regression. It isn't. The traps are permanent conditions to be managed, not milestones to be passed — which is why the framework has to keep running after the transformation is declared finished.
