Stand in the middle for more than five minutes and you experience both signal and noise.
The question sometimes is when to have the hard conversation: at the beginning, the middle or the end.

The middle means we’ve had some time to learn enough to identify the critical levers, so we can focus there and not on the tactical minutia.
The end means we’ll have made huge amounts of progress and will be fully invested, emotionally, financially and temporally so will be motivated to find an accommodation no matter what.
