The situation board.
One screen per project, answering the only two questions worth asking on a Monday: what came back, and where am I still blind.
Overnight · CC-03
Read back the night shift.
An operation is not a progress bar. You get the stage it is on, the line every stage filed on its way through, and the meter beside them — so at 08:00 you know what worked the field, what it found, and what the night cost.
23:40 → 06:48, forty-one candidates read down to three. $7.12.
This morning
Three decisions, already ranked.
Not a feed. The board reads itself and puts the few things only you can decide at the top — a name with no file, returns you have not opened, a lane ATHENA thinks you are missing. Most of them are one press.

Drafted off your own board. Proposing costs nothing; it runs only if you say so.The board
A morning, in one screen.
Not a dashboard of everything. The short list of things that are actually yours to move.
It tells you what to do next
A ranked list, read off your own board: artists with no file yet, deliveries you have not opened, a scout waiting on your approval. Most of them execute from the card.
It shows you the gaps
How much of the watchlist actually has a dossier, a briefing and a confirmed identity behind it. Coverage is the number that tells you where you are thin.
Coverage is the number to argue with.
Forty-six names and eighteen briefings is not a watchlist, it is a to-do list you have not read — and the board will keep saying so until you close the gap or take the name off.
Open one board.
Create a project, put an artist on it, and watch the gaps fill in.
