Root Cause #012: All Green

Panel 1. The Manager points to the green elevator status lamp. Manager: “Is the elevator fixed? The dashboard says it’s green.” Brian: “Let’s see what we’re measuring.”

Panel 2. Patch presses the small elevator call button, which glows green. Patch: “I press the button. If it lights up, we’re green.”

Panel 3. The doors are open behind a safety barrier. Rails are visible in the empty shaft, and the call button still glows. Manager: “Where’s the elevator?” Brian: “That’s the part we don’t check.”

Panel 4. The Manager carries the green status lamp up the stairs like a lantern. Brian follows with his mug. Brian: “The dashboard is finally helping.”
