Complexity Reports

Welcome to the unofficial guide to bureaucratic red tape, where every step forward is a step back, and every step back is a step sideways.

Subtopics:

• Red Tape Reports - Because who needs to know what's happening in the system, right?
• Bureaucratic Sclerosis - Where the wheels of progress come to a grinding halt.
• Paralyzing Procedure Reports - Because who needs to get anything done on time, anyway?

And don't even get us started on the Committee of Inaction. They're a special kind of special interest group that's always in session, but never in motion.
