A frontier outpost isn't the quiet part of the operation. It's the junction. Provisions, people, schedules, records, messages and half-finished work all pass through it. Somebody has to know the state of every one of them at once. That's the job.

The right hands, on site, with the badge, the key, the credential, and the authorization already sorted. Coordination isn't sending a calendar invite — it's making sure nothing at the other end is missing when the truck pulls up.
Three competing versions of the spreadsheet is not a filing problem. It's a decision problem — somebody is about to act on the wrong one. She collapses them into one current, citable record and says which one won.
