"Free Dave" Day 6: The Reveal of Dave-Time Saved

🎣 Dave is fishing this morning. His phone is off. Nobody minds.

A few weeks ago I wrote that every nuclear plant has a Dave. A lot of you said "I'm Dave." And then you told me what that actually means.

You're the only one who knows why the EDG load sequencing is the way it is.

You get called at 11pm during a transient because you're the only one trusted to know the right answer.

You haven't taken a real vacation in years because you're afraid of what happens if you're unreachable.

Daves are everywhere. And you deserve better.

We added up 513 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝 in our scenarios over the last two weeks.
But the number isn't what matters.

Dave mentored a junior engineer who can now find the answer herself. He made a $200K scoping call on data instead of gut feel. He caught a vendor parts trend before it became a failure. He saved the outage schedule. He documented his reasoning so the next engineer doesn't start from scratch.

Dave didn't get replaced. Dave got to be the engineer he was hired to be.

The tool is Gordian. One platform. Your engineers review and sign every output. The judgment stays human. The archaeology becomes instant. The knowledge stays when people leave.
