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.
The cycle page tells the story first — why, what changed, who helped, the way back — designed here as options on c121 and c115. Start at the overview.
c124 brief and option index: why the cycle page changes, the shared fixture (c121 rich, c115 minimal, sourced from records + market-analyst calls), and links to four cycle-page options, two collaborator-page options and the collaborators index
c124 option A: the cycle read top to bottom like a post — Why, In plain words, outcome cards stacked with before/after, Thanks to (external first), the pathway, the record folded
c124 option B: one screen answers why / what changed / who helped — a summary band, an outcome grid and a credits rail, details below
c124 option C: conversation → decision → outcome as the page's spine; pick any node to light its chain back to who said it
c124 option D: one big before/after compare leads, with outcome tabs; each tab carries its plain-words line, who it came from and the decision
c124 pass 2 (Mark, 2026-10-26): a simple summary first (why, what happened), B's at-a-glance second, what changed as a short guided list in plain words with pictures on request, and pathways that read as sentences — someone said → we decided → so now
c124 collaborator option A: who they are, accolades up top, then features, pages, releases and conversations as a ledger
c124 survey: the last two dozen cycles drafted as E stories — hero pair by the rule, why and result in plain words, people credited, strength and gaps; each opens in E. Leads with the proposed Story · Record split of the cycle page
c124 collaborator option B: a dated trail of what they said and what it became — quote → decision → outcome, cycle by cycle
c124 collaborators index: external market specialists first (build partners, advisors, beta and live customers, prospects, collaborators), the team after
The week detail, designed here on live data and promoted to /cycles/weeks/<week> (2026-10-05). The week view lives on /cycles (Week).
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.
