Early-Stage Documentation

Waiting to be picked uplast activity Oct 26

Next: Start Phase 3: tag each library file with its cycle, startup phase and design generation, reviewing with Mark one folder at a time.

Why we did this

Years of sketches, boards and decks sat in a shared drive with no dates or links, so finding anything old was a struggle.

What happened

All 1,137 files in the design drive can now be found, previewed and opened from one page, including 3,627 Illustrator artboards. Tying them to cycles is not done yet.

How we got here

Each change, traced back to the conversation it came from. A solid mark means the record names the source; a dashed one was matched by the draft and waits for review.

Opened the drive and set the rules

Answered where the sketches live and who the story is for (us first), asked for the Illustrator and Presentations quick filters, and ruled that sequences get tagged and stitched by hand.
