Source: bake-off #1 Form B (Team Landing — Lens Bake-off, c67's lever strip) — c100 lever-strip thread, 2026-09-30 · siblings Tile Map · Matrix · plan cycles/c100.landing-pages/leverstrip-variations-plan.md
The strip is the one form that labels itself — every chip carries its name — so at small sizes the problem isn't labelling, it's selection: forty chips won't fit, so which three do? And c67 called them levers: a chip can say what to pull, not just what it reads. Look for the lens selects beside variation titles, and every DataMachine's title is its lens select (the title-switcher pattern) — each one follows the page lens until you pin it to its own.

§1
Ink — colour lives in the micro-form
A chip is mostly neutral surface, so greyscale costs less here than in the tile map — except where colour was the signal. With status colour off, severity moves into shape: a critical finding is a filled square, an elevated one hollow; a hot person is a square, not a dot. Each strip has its own lens select — try Violations in grey beside Coverage in a hue.

shape carries severity — filled vs hollow squares, squares for hot people
The chips keep their names all the way down; what shrinks is how many chips, and how much of each. Card → one-row rail → top four → three rows in a DataMachine → one pill in a table cell → the micro-form alone inside a sentence.

Glyph48 × 12— the micro-form alone — the sentence is the chip
Six answers to "which three?" — the head, the range, names without drawings, drawings without names, verbs instead of values, and one at a time. Every card's title is its own lens select — the DataMachine title-switcher pattern: the choice changes what the card is, so the choice is the title.

4bMicro-form — any lens × any drawing
Bake-off #1 picked the drawing per lens (auto). Pick one here and walk the lenses: a drawing that only works for one lens is really several forms. The in-cell bar is the one that works everywhere — and says the least.

Tinted puts the tile map's fill on the chip — the strip becomes a sorted tile map with equal areas. The status edge is a coloured rail on the left: the chip stays calm until it matters.

4eMulti-lens chips — one reader's lenses per chip
Each chip carries a small fingerprint of one reader's lenses, a bar per lens against the biggest team. The strip meets the matrix: rows become chips, and the reader select is the Home lens.

4gMorph
Turn Morph on in the controls, then change the page lens: every strip re-sorts and the chips glide to their new places, so your eye keeps hold of a team through the reorder. Most telling on the XL strip and 4d.
Judge
What to try, and what to look for
Where does grey need shape?
Status off, Violations: critical vs elevated is now filled vs hollow. Walk to Waste and Usage — do the hot-person squares read, or is status the one colour job the strip can't give up?
Which three chips?
§3 is six answers to one question. Flip Scale → 1,500 and State → All clear: the head goes calm, the span keeps its shape, micro-only turns to texture. Which one would you ship in a DataMachine?
Readings vs levers
Only five of the eight lenses have a verb (§3 5). Should the /team landing lead with levers, and put Usage, Spend and Harness somewhere else — a Home lens, not a lever strip?
Is the card lens select a feature?
Every DataMachine here has its own lens. Is that a real control, or an admission that the card doesn't know its job? Compare a Home row of three cards pinned to three lenses.
Tinted chips vs the tile map
4c Tinted is a sorted tile map with equal areas and names that always fit. Does it beat the tile map's equal-tiles layout — or is it the same thing?
Does one drawing fit every lens?
In 4b, pick Bar and walk the lenses: it works everywhere and says the least. Auto says the most per lens but is several forms. Where do you land?
Parked (see the plan): chip history (a spark per chip — no history in the fixture), drag-to-pin ordering (a port-time interaction), and levers that act inline — a Reclaim button on the chip (the action surface is c92's).
