Public roadmap
Before writing, the Andes kept records in knots. A khipu is the Inca cord of knots: each strand a thread of work, each knot a fact, tied by its keeper only when the thing had truly happened.
A knot means shipped
Tied only when the work is live, with proof attached.
Firm dates for this quarter
After it, an approximate quarter or half-year.
Knots are never untied
If a milestone moves, it stays on the cord with a note saying why.
