The most expensive thing in an engineering organisation is not the work. It is the gap between knowable and known.
A blocker takes shape in a thread that scrolls out of view. Two teams begin solving the same problem a corridor apart. A senior engineer loses a week to a question another programme answered last quarter. Each of these announced itself — early, quietly, in a tool you already pay for. And each of them surfaced the way slips always surface: at the Thursday programme review, after the milestone had already moved.
That review is not an early-warning system. It is a confession booth.
Qeino exists for the weeks before the confession — the interval when the risk is visible, the correction is cheap, and nobody is looking. We call the first moment a risk becomes visible first light. Catching it is the entire company.
