Client's Kickstand system was hitting capacity limits: duplicate posts, $500/mo Apify costs, 105K artist extractions. By applying Heidegger's hermeneutic circle—understanding parts through whole—'bugs' revealed deeper system sustainability constraints. Achieved: zero duplicates post-fix, 92% cost reduction (hourly→4-hour cron), comprehensive documentation. Validated hypothesis: experimental framing produces better fixes than reactive maintenance.
