This week the pen came back: 33 decisions and 21 cards applied, 13 packages built. Submissions stayed at one. The only step left that the machine cannot press is yours.
Eight packages expired unsent on 9-17 while 36 sit staged. Production and decision are both flowing now; the submit step has not moved since 8-31.
Read the week as a pipeline with four valves. Sweep and package: cron-paced, 4-5 leads and 2 packages a night, unchanged. Decide: 33 go/no-go marks applied on 9-17, the largest single day since the loop started, once the stranded returns were found. Submit: one, on 8-31. Expire: eight, on 9-17.
Two of those numbers are yours. The 9-17 sitting proved that a batch of decisions in one sitting works better than a nightly trickle. The submit valve has no batch yet. D3 on the 9-20 weekly paper asks for three names and a date each; the return turns them into dated Things tasks.
The cost of not choosing is not zero. Each package on the tablet is five documents (the device is at 312 against a budget of 70), each nightly 'rotting' alert dedups into silence, and each posting has its own clock that does not wait for a sitting.
The machine can build and you can decide; only you can submit.
