The record.
A documented decision reconstructed from what the operator knew at the time. Not the retelling.
The wire.
A tripwire I set months ago tripped this week. What fired, and what it saved me from relitigating.
Grade my call.
A past decision graded in public: every currency separately, catalyst against cause, what the memo caught that memory would have rewritten.
Fifteen minutes, same day the issue lands.
Sunday is also when the system checks itself: open tripwires against current state, reviews due, decisions still open. The issue and the habit share a day on purpose. One wire that fires on time pays for a month of them.
