Technical Debt && Collins' Stages of Decline; OR, The Exponential Point of No Return

Collins model goes something like this:

* Stage 2 - Undisciplined Pursuit of More.

* Stage 3 - Denial of Risk and Peril.

* Stage 4 - Grasping for Salvation (AKA Panic).

* Stage 5 - Capitulation to Irrelevance or Death.
