A problem, blocker, or issue. The neutral term for anything impeding the Expedition's movement. Naming something an Obstruction removes blame and focuses on clearing it.
Issues & Problem Solving
Issues and Problem Solving terms give the Crew a shared, blame-free language for surfacing and resolving anything that slows the Expedition down. The vocabulary is deliberately neutral — an Obstruction is not a failure, it is a condition. Naming it clearly is the first step to Clearing it.
See: Framework Overview
Flagging
The act of surfacing an Obstruction. Any Station or Post can Flag. Flagging early is a professional obligation, not an admission of failure.
Clearing
The act of resolving an Obstruction. Action-forward. The question in every Bearing is not "who caused this" -- it is "who is Clearing this and by when."
Debris
Unresolved Obstructions that have accumulated. Debris slows the Expedition. It builds when Flagging culture is weak or when Bearings do not produce Clearing decisions.
