Wound Healing
TL;DR
Wound healing requires sequential phases: inflammation (stop bleeding, clear debris), proliferation (grow new tissue), remodeling (strengthen over months). Apple 1997: cut 70% products, then iMac, then decade-long ecosystem build.

Tissue damage triggers three-phase response: (1) Inflammation - clot forms, immune cells clear debris, (2) Proliferation - new tissue grows rapidly, (3) Remodeling - tissue matures, strengthens over months. Sequential phases, each necessary for next phase.
Business Application of Wound Healing
Crisis response follows similar phases: Stabilize (stop bleeding, clear debris), Proliferate (grow new capabilities rapidly), Remodel (mature and strengthen over time). Companies that skip phases fail to regenerate fully.
