Why we did this

Several people had built overlapping dashboard pages for controls, policy and compliance at the same time. The numbers disagreed and the same table appeared twice.

What happened

A clear map of the overlap, a ranked list of quick fixes, and an edit-in-place card for controls that shipped to the product. The deeper redesign went to the next cycle.

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.
