SWEEP

Spoken Walk for Every Empty Place

A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities interviews 29 last-outs on seven open-plan floors and keeps their words as the codes. A sweep, in their terms, is a walk of their own aisle; they name about a third of the enclosed rooms the floor contains. SWEEP (Spoken Walk for Every Empty Place) writes that vernacular onto a walk-sheet, and the five organisations have bound the alarm so that it will not arm unless every enclosed room has been spoken empty, with no override.
