Anyone with a busy inbox

Your engineering inbox, read like a project engineer would.

Your job is to answer the engineering questions that need you. We prepare the paperwork round it, and you approve it.

The work that gets in the way

Deadlines are buried in threads

Reading back through correspondence takes time before you can confirm the next date.

You cannot see who you are waiting on

Repeatedly checking for replies interrupts the work in front of you.

Replies take an hour to prepare

Collecting the thread and drafting a reply leaves less time for engineering.

What changes

Works with all three. Most useful first: Letterbox, OpsWork, HVCO.
