Data Component Audit & Rationalization

Why we did this

The shared library had two overlapping families of data components, and nobody could say which to use. One family was called DataMachine, a name that said nothing.

What happened

All 22 data components were sorted into replaced, keep or look again. DataMachine became DataMetric in all three projects, and a new page explains which to use.

New in this cycleThe design site now has one page explaining the two data families and when to reach for each.

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.

Spotted the overlap

His prompt said the old data components seemed outmoded by the data-machine ones, and asked how best to replace them and what the product app actually used.
