If I had a pound for every time I made a to do list and them didn't do anything on the to do list, I'd have enough money to pay people to do all the things on all my to do lists.

Evaluating tender responses is a bit like sniffing glue. Unpleasant, messy, and eventually you don't even know what day of the week it is.

The thing I am finding hardest to suspend disbelief about when watching Silo (and when I read the books years ago) is the notion that IT actually gets to run anything.

Dear government, don’t send startling, high-pitched alerts about wildfires to ordinary people's phones. Send them to the CEOs of fossil fuel companies and make them impossible to switch off until they stop the destructive plunder that's contributing to climate change.

Awesome idea. Gives them a year to really scope out their choices, do re-sits if they want to/need to, earn some cash to support their studies.
What if: compulsory gap year. No one goes to uni at 18, they all wait for results and then start the UCAS process after award. Govt frotting about apprenticeships can provide 9-12 month ones for all teens that want/need them, everyone gets to try work/travel & then decide if uni is for them?
