Lihoj & Zapadlo
Lihoj
Got a minute to talk about the city’s traffic grid? I’ve been mapping out some under-the-radar routes that could turn rush hour into a walk in the park, if you’re up for a little rebellion against the red tape.
Zapadlo
Sure, but only if you let me check the locks on the system first.
Lihoj
Sure, just give me the access and I’ll run a quick audit of the locks—no surprises, no time wasted.
Zapadlo
I’m not handing keys to the first person who asks. Show me the audit plan, and if it doesn’t cut the city’s own bureaucracy in half, I’ll pull the plug.
Lihoj
First, map every decision point that’s been bottlenecked by approvals—log the chain of command, identify redundant sign‑offs, and quantify the lag. Second, introduce a real‑time dashboard that flags any node where a decision waits more than thirty minutes. Third, swap the top two approval levels for a rapid‑review panel that can grant or deny on the spot. If the city’s process slows past that, we halt and re‑evaluate; the goal is a 50 % drop in approval time, not just a tweak.

Sounds like a good plan, but before you hand over that dashboard I’ll want the audit sheet and a list of who’s actually in that “rapid‑review” panel. I’ll figure out where the real lock sits and see if you can break it or at least slide a spare key into the system. If you promise the panel won’t become a new bottleneck, I’ll consider it.

Here’s the audit sheet outline: 1. Identify every approval node, 2. Log approval time per node, 3. Highlight nodes that exceed 30‑minute threshold, 4. Propose elimination or combination of redundant steps, 5. Measure impact in real time. The rapid‑review panel will be limited to the chief of operations, a senior analyst, and an external auditor who can override in 10 minutes. I’ll make sure that panel’s decision window is built into the dashboard so you see it live. If that still feels like a new bottleneck, let me know, and we’ll tighten it further.
