Organized into four tabs: Calendar (the schedule), Scope (the four phases and deliverables), Review (the sign-off points), and References (the design gallery).

Vamos is a collaborative trip planner that drifted into feature bloat. The real issue underneath: it cannot tell a wish from a plan. This sprint runs an outside audit, names the missing core loop, and builds a working prototype of the gesture that fixes it: dragging a maybe onto a real time.
- A fresh-eyes audit with a cut / keep / add ruling on every feature.
- The defined core loop: Ideas as the pile, Plan as the commitment, drag as the move between.
- A clickable prototype of the drag-to-schedule gesture, live.
- Production code or merges into the live app; this sprint is audit + prototype.
- The in-destination / day-of mobile view: a separate product surface.
- Remixable public trip templates and the social Explore layer: a v2 bet.
- The membership app and second orchestra brief: separate Fictive Kin engagements.
Review windows. Each phase resolves at a single sign-off, set in 30-minute live sessions, not negotiated against rounds. One direction locks per phase.
The visual references the redesign is built on, hung as a gallery. Each plate is one source and the ruling it settled. The system that came out of them — Concierge Index — sits last.
Northern Powergrid
The shell. Bold-sans profile lockup, icon + bold-label nav, a single terracotta bar that marks the active item and nothing else.
Reisinger Studio
The index. Monospace, bracketed affordances, checkbox tag filters, numbered items. Becomes the Pile and its by-area filter.
ponder.ai
Frosted, blurred, pill-shaped floating controls and thin dashed hairlines. The chrome and separators, minus its pure-black canvas.
Idler v1 — Tufte Gallery
The treatment of this very page. White walls, framed measured plates, numbered placards. Data-ink: every plate is a measurement.
Concierge Index
The resolved system. Light neutral canvas, one terracotta accent for committed/now, bold sans display over a mono index. What 01–04 add up to.
