01 · The problem
It's due tomorrow and the answers aren't in.
You asked the team on Thursday evening. Two of five answered, one of those said "basically done", and at eleven o'clock three lines are still missing. So you write them from what you remember being true — and hope Tuesday agrees.
02 · What you need
Verified, or flagged — never quietly guessed.
Where a line points at a ticket and your tracker is connected, it's confirmed before it's written up as done — a claim the ticket doesn't back gets held, not pasted. Where she can't confirm, she doesn't hide it: that line is marked reported-only, right next to itself, so you send knowing which parts are checked.
03 · How it runs
The chasing stops being your evening.
Set where the asking happens and what a line gets checked against. Every step rewrites itself to match — she asks each owner individually so nobody anchors off someone else's answer, and the gap is visible before the deadline instead of at it.
04 · What it's worth
The template was never the hard part.
You came for a structure, so take one — five lines, fits a screen. But notice what it costs to fill in honestly: every line needs an answer from someone, and half of them need checking. Collecting the truth behind it is the part that eats your Thursday.
