Design operating surfaces: pages about how the design team works, decides, archives, and makes its current state visible.
c84 starts here with a bob-wire style ladder: design brief, four wireframes, then four q-nuxt-layer mockups.
Cycles Status M5 - Current Matrix
Promoted from the first c84 pass. This is the candidate to keep refining before replacing the live cycles landing page.
Lo-fi structural alternatives. Grey-box fidelity keeps the argument on page shape.
Lo-fi c84 direction: four operational lanes make working now, waiting, seeds, blocked, and recently closed cycles visible at standup speed
Lo-fi c84 direction: chronological work feed with a decision queue rail for teammates asking what changed since the last look
Lo-fi c84 direction: stage-by-attention portfolio map that exposes imbalance, stale work, and backlog shape
Lo-fi c84 direction: decision-first desk where parked, blocked, and needs-ruling cycles sit above ordinary active work
Hi-fi alternatives composed from q-nuxt-layer components and established design-site patterns.
q-nuxt-layer c84 mockup: c68/c81-style verdict, stats band, operational lanes, and atlas preview for the likely winning structure
q-nuxt-layer c84 mockup: event-feed landing with compact decision and seed rails for recent team orientation
q-nuxt-layer c84 mockup: stage matrix plus dense supporting table, using the data-table pattern for operations
q-nuxt-layer c84 mockup: decision-first ruling surface for parked, blocked, stale, and abandoned-candidate work
Promoted directions iterated forward while earlier experiments remain visible.
