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."
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
An Obstruction
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.
Flagging
The act of surfacing an Obstruction. Any Station or Post can Flag. Flagging early is a professional obligation, not an admission of failure.
The Bearing
The weekly synchronous meeting. Short, directional, no status updates. One question drives it: what requires human judgment this week that is not already handled?
