Without going into much detail, my workplace sells a product that’s makes use of an industrial computer that has two regular off-the-shelf hard drives in it. For some reason both hard drives are similar, but were sourced from different manufacturers. We got a notification from the provider that manufacturer B would cease production and proposed us to use two drives from manufacturer A instead.
I had the genius idea of giving my two cents and suggested we accept as it will work, they are just standard hard drives after all.
Now I became the hard drive expert at work, got dragged into endless meetings and being asked the dumbest of questions regarding this change. It’s been a year and the change hasn’t been approved by higher ups yet.

Can you ‘lean into it?’
Sounds like a good way to pad your resume and give yourself all kinds of management credentials.
I may be crazy, but sounds like a plan
You’re clearly not “hushable”.
