Team Landing — People Field

Source: qdash /team landing — c100 bake-off #2, 2026-09-30

Is everyone covered, who's idle, and who needs me? Every person is one mark, grouped by team and toned by their own state, never by their team's worst member. The field is drawn five ways on the same world, beside the short named list it exists to feed. Click a mark to follow that person through every form.

Form A

Team blocks

Strong at teams as places — size, trouble and calm in one glance; every block's trouble sits top-left, so blocks compare.Weak at exact comparison between teams (areas are packed, not aligned); tiny teams become specks at 1,500.

Form B

Team rows (barcode)

Strong at comparing teams — shared scale, rows sorted by who needs you; c67's "everybody reads the crowd".Weak at being an image — it reads as a chart, and long rows at 1,500 turn into texture.

Form C

One org field

Strong at the whole org as one picture — the calmest all-clear, and the only form where the people outnumber the labels.Weak at naming — teams exist only as alternating tones; you need hover to know where you are.

Teams are contiguous runs in a fixed order; the calm tones alternate by team so the geography reads without labels. Hover for the team.

Form D

Coverage skyline

Strong at the coverage story — the calm mass sits low, gaps and trouble make the ragged top; the tallest problem is the tallest spike.Weak at reading people — it's a stacked bar made of dots; at 40 teams the labels crowd.

Form E

Field + the lifted list

Strong at the page's job — the field is quiet grey so the five names carry the colour; hover joins the list and the field both ways.Weak at showing state — only the lifted few are toned; the rest of the trouble is one click away on Users.

My read

For /team: E, built on A. The lens field (bake-off #1) already carries colour for teams; a second fully-toned image beside it doubles the noise. E keeps the people field calm and lets the five names do the talking — the page's actual job. Using A's team blocks instead of C's continuous field inside E would keep team names visible.

For Home's org exhibit: C. At 300 ft the org is a texture with a few warm marks in it — exactly C. It's also the calmest all-clear of the five.

D is the coverage chart, not the people field. It tells the "can we see everyone" story better than anything here, and belongs to the Coverage lens or the IT view on Home.

One addition from this round: the known, never seen person (an Okta seat-holder with no telemetry). It's the first row Peterson reached for ("oh, crap. Alexis") and now has a mark: a dashed hollow square.

Judge

What to try, and what to look for

All clear at 1,500

Which form looks finished rather than empty? C and E should read as calm texture; A should read as a quiet city of blocks.

First run

Everyone is Unassigned. A draws one dashed block with a door, and the verdict carries "map identities →". Is attribution debt the obvious next step?

Follow one person

Click a red mark in A, then find it in B, C and D. Which form makes the person easiest to find again?

Hover the list in E

The ring in the field and the row in the list light together. Is the two-way link enough to replace colour on the rest of the field?

Change the period to 24h

Most people go quiet. Does "active" still mean something, or does the field turn grey everywhere?

The dashed squares

Known, never seen. Do they read as "missing" or as "noise"? They are the one mark that isn't a person we have data for.
