What the Incoming Operator Cannot See

Turnover, attribution, and the record that has to answer when the control room is not in the room.

Seventeen standing Critical alarms, zero rendered, and a turnover screen reporting none. Acknowledgement time equal to archive time in 4,791 of 4,791 sampled rows, every one naming a person. Operator KPI coverage of one percent. Five failures of situational awareness, each measured, treating awareness as a testable property of the record rather than a quality of a dashboard.
