Reality Did Not Follow the Brief
What it does
The result has diverged from the shared mental mock-up so thoroughly that both versions deserve separate names.
Use it when
- An outcome looks nothing like the plan.
- Two people share the same disappointed surprise.
- Execution produces an unexpected object entirely.
For example
- The ‘sage green’ wall dries the color of hospital pudding.
- The custom cake depicts a different animal and a different name.
- Your quiet cabin rental sits above a karaoke bar.
