Every time someone on your team picks up where they left off, they re-pay the same tax. Re-pasting context. Re-explaining the goal. Or letting one thread accumulate enough drift that quality dips and nobody catches it. Linguist names the cost. Measures it. Trains it down.
Token spend, "feels draining", inconsistent output — those are symptoms. The cause is that everyone on your team is re-paying the same context tax. New conversation, same explanation. Or one long thread that drifts until quality dips and nobody notices when. You can feel it. You can't name it. So nobody fixes it.
The headline outcome. People re-ground the AI faster and notice when a thread has gone stale.
