It starts before that.
Small shifts.
Subtle changes.
Things most people miss.
Clenched fists
Space getting tighter

Experienced operators don’t wait for noise.
They watch behaviour.
They read tension early
and act before it becomes a problem.
That’s the difference.
Reaction vs anticipation.
Most people hear escalation.
Professionals see it.
