// The Blank Page That Wasn't Blank
A day and a half to start from nothing.
The firm has written this technical report forty times. Different site, different specs, but the structure, the clauses, the method are all in the archive. Nobody can find them fast enough, so a senior engineer spends a day and a half pulling pieces from old folders to rebuild a skeleton that already existed. That day and a half was billable time, spent on work the firm had already done.
The draft existed. The path to it didn't.
