Dashboard

The shape of a world

A dashboard is not a completion meter. It is a map of what you've asked and what you've avoided. Use it to see gaps and tensions — then return to the cards.

Physical practice

The A3 Dashboard Session

The dashboard is meant to be printed at A3 and worked on collectively. Spread the world across the table. Mark what is filled, what is thin, what contradicts itself. The digital view here is a reminder — not a replacement.

Coverage grid

Phases × Lenses

Once you're signed in and working on a world, each cell shows whether that phase/lens intersection has been interviewed, left blank, or marked unresolved.
