The Grind
A downloadable game
Productivity Dynamics Inc. has been revolutionising office-based productivity for the past century. Their latest innovation is a one-of-a-kind office manager AI called The Grind. Everything was exceeding all projected performance indicators with a steady stream of new IP and R&D until Office X4432 went dark. Perhaps The Grind tried to extract just a bit too much producvitiy out of employees...
> PD INC. MEMO #34398: FIXER CONTRACT
It has been 3.452 days since a 99.99% productivity drop at Office x4432. This represents an unacceptable loss of R.O.I. on The Grind. Conduct a root cause analysis and clear any blockers to productivity.
If all else fails, extract IP / AI core / data logs for post-mortem.

This is neat! I like the larp-adjacent corporate tasks table.
Some thoughts since the PDF says its a WIP: One thing I'd probably add if I were using this is some sort of encounter table to complicate completing the tasks, e.g. turbo-fax spews a papercut tornado. Also I noticed there's an "onboarding timeline" mentioned that I don't see described in the text.
I hope to see a more fleshed out final version someday.
Honoured that you would drop by and leave a comment, I'm a huge fan of all the work you've put out for Mothership, I own it all. :)
You've motivated me to come back and finish this, thank you for the encouragement.
Aw thanks, and glad to hear that you're gonna keep going with this! Feel free to drop me an email/discord message if you want some editing help.
