Waylight · the jobs

Four situations, and what meets them.

Written as jobs rather than roles — the same yard lead wants different things at six in the morning and at five in the afternoon.

  • When a barge lands three hours late overnight, I want the morning re-planned before anyone arrives, so I can the first conversation at the gate is about work, not about what happened.

    What meets it

    Boards re-cut at 05:55 with the cause printed on the sheet

  • When two crews need the same crane at ten, I want one of them moved without a negotiation over the radio, so I can neither crew stands still waiting to find out who won.

    What meets it

    One reshuffle propagating to every board that shares the constraint

  • When a supervisor overrides the plan, I want the reason attached to the change itself, so I can the next shift inherits the decision instead of re-litigating it.

    What meets it

    Overrides that require a line, stored beside the row they changed

  • When an auditor asks what happened on a Tuesday in March, I want to answer from the record rather than from memory, so I can the review takes an hour instead of a fortnight.

    What meets it

    Shifts closing into an append-only ledger with exports that carry provenance
