When a team keeps asking for clarity on something you've already explained, the instinct is to explain it better. Different words, a cleaner slide, a follow-up email. But repeated clarity requests are rarely about missing information,  they're signals. Signals of mistrust, fear, or misalignment that don't have a safe way to surface directly. And until you learn to read what's actually behind the question, you can keep clarifying until you're hoarse and it won't stick.
