**Found:** a real genre of workplace naming. The Google Doc called FINAL that is still in Suggesting, still collecting comments, and still waiting for a decision the title already claimed. Version seven did not end the work. It only renamed the delay.

You have renamed a file this way to make the room move. You have also opened one, added another suggestion, and left the real call for later because FINAL still felt safer than Done.

## The dry line

If the file still needs Suggesting, it is not final. The version number is a costume for unfinished agreement. Put the decision in the room, or stop calling the delay a deliverable.
