Commitments slip

Contract commitments slip until they cost money. The notice you owed, the true down you forgot, the right you never exercised. Tribal memory is not a system.

This is the obligations register. Vera harvests every commitment out of the contracts themselves and files it with an owner and a date.

Run the harvest and the register fills from the paper. Nothing here was typed into a tracker by hand, which is why nothing here is missing.

Notice and termination windows come first, the deadlines that decide whether next year is a negotiation or a formality.

Then the money clauses people forget they won: the true down window that lets you shed unused seats, the swap right that trades one product for another. Paid for in the negotiation, worthless if nobody exercises them.

The task runway turns each obligation into work: assigned, dated, and visible.

What next keeps today's moves on top, and the plate empties as the team works it down.

Who is carrying what, and when the runway clears, in one glance. That is how commitments stop slipping: not more discipline, a system that does not forget.
