MEME REFERENCE

Needs More Cowbell

Use when every review demands one more addition, as though endlessly increasing the same ingredient will perfect the result.

What it expresses

An authority keeps prescribing more of one visible feature instead of accepting limits or addressing the underlying need.

Example

A simple dashboard gains another chart, filter, forecast, and summary page after each leadership review.

When not to use it

Avoid when one measured addition genuinely resolves the problem and nobody keeps escalating the request.

• one more thing
• scope creep
• repeated additions
• feature demand
