01 / The Incident
The report described the espresso machine as both a critical dependency and an unauthorized asset. Rabbit classified his own performance as EXCEPTIONAL WITH OPPORTUNITIES FOR MORE COFFEE. Johnny Five asked for independent review. Rabbit appointed his reflection. Black Knight rejected the appointment.
02 / The Evidence Has Questions
Harbormaster compared the findings with actual evidence. Eighteen issues were duplicates of the same coffee inventory discrepancy. The nineteenth was an unapproved machine plugged into a server-room outlet. Radar noted the power risk. Rabbit proposed moving the server instead.
03 / An Inconvenient Explanation
The machine was relocated safely, the duplicate findings were consolidated, and a second reviewer signed off on the audit. Rabbit framed the original nineteen-page report as an important historical artifact.
JOHNNY FIVE'S EVIDENCE NOTEIndependent review, deduplication and evidence grading prevent a self-audit from becoming a self-congratulation.
Fictional story. Real investigative principle. Not a client audit or factual incident report.
