J14's IMU cable pins follow the RJ45 T568B pairs on the board copper, but the KiCad README table, the BOM README note, a datasheet_rules comment and the firmware's LSM6DSOX_CS pin comment all used the breakout's pad order. Four places, one pinout, all wrong the same way.

Failure pattern: validation / failure

Analyst note

From the Grok pain-radar digests, Nov 8-9 2026 (Nov 8 8:41 AM ET through Nov 9 6:41 AM ET digests plus the Haitch editions). Verified live 2026-11-09: issue/PR read; title and state confirmed.

What it costs a team

Modeled annual cost

$30,000

For a team of 5

Prototype delay

3 days

Modeled schedule slip per occurrence

Time lost

240 min

Per engineer per month, about 1 incidents

How the cost is modeled

240 min/month × 5 engineers × 12 months = 240 hours × $125/hour = $30,000
