I'm still working on articulating
my main difficulty in the transition
from Ace to PDI estimating.

At a high level,
it's that our process is built on _instrumental_ methods,
but that it is frequently judged from a _realist_ perspective.
See [[realism-vs-instrumentalism]].

There may be a more accurate way to state this.
[[2025-11-10_11-14-00]] may be an example of a similar issue,
where instrumental methods are presented as if they were realist,
causing confusion when the methods are,
as judged from a realist perspective, wrong.
