Cycle Atlas
Cycle records were scattered across eight repositories, and many earlier cycles had live pages but no pictures. Nobody could browse the whole history in one place.
Every cycle in every repository, 151 at the time, got its own page with its write-up and pictures. About 420 screenshots were taken, many showing an experiment in eight or more states.

Thanks to
People outside Qpoint first. Every thank-you points at something they said or made.
Asked for the album and how deep to go
Asked for cycle detail pages with full documentation and long-page captures, extended it to the sister projects, set how deep each one goes, and pushed for eight or more states per experiment.
