Welnix have stumped up a big sum of money, and are trying to sell a product to the public. If it was Griffins and the biscuit factory started churning out weevil-filled wafers instead of gingernuts I would expect the board to step in and tell the factory manager to fix the product. This isn't any different.
Hmm i dont buy this metaphor.
Its more like someone went a bought a mid range biscuit factory - not the highest quality, but a decent biscuit nonetheless. But after a few months, the owners of this company really wanted to be as popular as the big biscuit brands - i mean who wouldnt want to be kicking it with griffins. But rather than wait to hire more experienced chefs or purchase better equipment, they ask the current chefs to use the equipment they currently have to produce a high quality biscuit using a recipe that seems to have worked for other historically popular biscuits, but they probably dont have the resources for that. Long term, they may hire better chefs or get better resources, but the transition period may leave the company producing biscuits that were worse than the original product as they experiment with trying to use ingredients that may not suit the recipe the new owners have told them to use.
Very good analogy.
We make good Chit Chats, but the owners really want Tim Tams, or even.... *hushed voice* Mallowpuffs.
Edit: Know your biscuits.
