contractadon n. Genetic aberration of the droid, differentiated by its predilection for the written document (of which it is not sure of the meaning, but knows its intent is to render the combatant—normally referred to as the “second party”—impotent.) Contractadons are typically aged relics (ergo the Jurassic reference) that are the by-product of years of instilling dissent and mistrust in Vendor-Client relationships immediately prior to consummation. These reptiles firmly believe that the contract is more important than the nature of the business it represents and are not satisfied until all Goodwill between parties has been extinguished.

Return on Perception n. The measurement by which others are able to be convinced of the value of a Product or Project. Typically this measurement is applied in those situations where typical Return on Investment or Risk Mitigation are unable to justify the purchase of, or the continued spending on a Product or Project that fails to make business sense. ROP, as it is also known, is the enemy of the concept of Sunk Cost for Software Projects Gone Mad. In its most insidious form ROP is the underpinning by which the Law of Crappy People is allowed to thrive in large organizations: OK, Bob ran three multi-million dollar projects into the ground through an embarrassing combination of waterfall processes and his utter inability to absorb the concept of the Mythical Man-Month, but he is a real Team Player and is a tremendous asset to the organization.
