Timeline
TL-004
A Batch Is Held Back Nine Days
The first time shipping lost
Event Type
Process
A finished run was held rather than shipped, over a seam that passed inspection but did not pass the person who made it.
Historical Context
Nothing in the specification required the hold. The seam was inside tolerance and would have shipped anywhere else.
Impact
The hold established that the maker can stop a run, and that stopping one gets written down rather than absorbed quietly.
A tolerance describes what will pass. It does not describe what should.
