A board answers "how did the business do over a period". A worklist answers "what happens if I do nothing". They are neighbours and they are constantly confused, so the rule between them is worth stating: every figure on the board is a cohort over a chosen range, and the only thing on the page that ignores the range is the attention rail, which is about today.
The funnel primitive you made a platform component in Lab 03 does its biggest job here. And the exposure incident from Lab 07, which had nowhere to live, finally has two homes.
Drawn fresh from the Untitled kit and the system’s ruled tokens, not restyled from the originals.
A worklist answers “what happens if I do nothing”. One order: consequence, grouped rather than sorted.
Each stage measured against the first, never against itself; an empty stage draws an outline, never nought per cent.
The existing rule is that a delta is coloured green for up and red for down, by direction rather than by judgement. That was a sound instinct, and under the palette we have now built it breaks: green means settled with value and red means settled without value everywhere else on the platform. A green chip on "cancellations up 18%" would be reading the exact opposite of the truth.
Not sorted by date, and not filterable into a register. A worklist has one order and it is consequence. The exposure incident sits at the top because there is nothing on the platform that costs more.
Every other worklist row sends you somewhere. This one is answered in place, because the decision is one of two words and opening a record to say them is friction with no purpose. It is the only worklist that carries actions on the row.
Four columns, each with the same shrinking bar you approved for a register row, at board size. The bar under Quotations is 69 per cent of the bar under Enquiries, not 100 per cent of its own column, so the narrowing is real rather than decorative. This is the same component, at the same scale rule, doing the biggest job on the platform and the smallest job in a table cell.
Everywhere else empty means something is missing. Here it means the work is done, so it should read like a result rather than an absence, and it carries the next thing on the horizon so a person knows the quiet is real rather than a broken query.
Margin below its floor is red, and margin negative is red with a minus sign. This is the second and last exception to the rule that hue belongs to disposition, after the exposure tick. Both exceptions are the same thing underneath: money the agency is losing right now.
