 ====[[Barnacles]] and the effluxion of time====
 ''“[[Rework - Book Review|Policy is institutional scar tissue]]”'' - [[Jason Fried]]<br>
+{{barnacles}}
-Over time contract templates will inevitably accumulate what I call “[[barnacle|barnacles]]” — ''ad hoc'' responses to historic situations, reactions to unexpected risks,  flourishes to cater for a particularly truculent counterparty. If a client insists on adding redundant (or mistaken) terms “[[for the avoidance of doubt]]”, the pragmatic response is to agree them and move toward execution. But, as people move on the reason for these concessions will be lost to time, and the instinct of successive negotiators upon encountering them will be, “I don't know why that is there, but whoever put it in must have had a reason, so the safest thing is to leave it there.”
-This will lead to complexity in templates, additional length of templates and a proliferation of different templates.
 '''Summary''': ''Over-processing arises through excessive caution in credit terms and through the natural, pragmatic process of getting negotiations across the line. The length and complexity of documents creates significant {{wasteprov|over-rprocessing}} wastage and, as a by-product, creates significant {{wasteprov|waiting}} and {{transport}} wastage as well through unnecessary [[escalation|escalations]]." <br>
