How Documents Actually Move

Intake Without Reception

Forms arrive via pneumatic tube at 2,400 units per hour. No one greets them. They stack.

Review Is the Bottleneck

Six departments must initial each page. Average wait: 14 working days, or 19 if a stamp is missing.

Output Exceeds Input by Design

Each clearance generates three carbon copies, one routing slip, and a receipt no one files correctly.

The Archive Grows Regardless

Rejection rates sit at 31%. Rejected forms re-enter the queue. The archive fills either way.
