A shared success deserves an account that does not lose the quiet contributors.

Stories about success shorten toward whoever is easiest to name. The visible person, the one who presented it or pushed hardest, becomes the whole account, while the people who fixed the thing at midnight, kept the records straight, or made the introduction disappear from the telling. Nobody decides to erase them; the story simply compresses, and the compressed version becomes the record.

Name at least one person nobody else would have mentioned the next time you describe something that went well, and say specifically what they did. Accuracy about credit is cheap and it lasts.
