The plan as first written

Nick opens the Hub and his work day is there: his email answered by writing the reply and clicking Send, his Slack used exactly like Slack, every card small and readable and clearable, nothing showing as waiting that he already handled, nothing ever overdue, and the system's own notices written like a person wrote them.

Steps

IdPlain wordsPercentStateProofWhat is left
STEP 1You answer email from the Hub by clicking Send, like any mail client90% done, not independently checkedSending email from the Hub works: clicking Send is the approval, proven live on 9 September. It closes when your first real reply from the Hub is read back from Gmail's own copy.Closes on your first real email reply sent from the Hub; the sending itself is proven.
STEP 2You use Slack inside the Hub the way you use Slack: Enter sends, Shift+Enter is a new line, nothing to approve100% provenProven live on 9 September: a message typed in the Hub and sent with Enter reached Slack with no extra tap, and Slack's own copy matched what was sent. A second, separate check agreed.Nothing left.
STEP 3You read the whole Inbox at a glance and open only what you want100% provenLive since 10 September: every Inbox card is one small row of the same size, and opening one shows the detail. Measured against the approved drawing, it matched on phone and desktop, light and dark.Nothing left.
STEP 4You can clear any card or conversation and get it back if you slip; conversations live in one place100% provenProven live on 10 September: archiving a card or a conversation removed it after a reload, and Undo brought both back. Slack and email each have their own section. A second, separate check agreed.Nothing left.
STEP 5What you already dealt with in Slack or Gmail stops showing as waiting97% blockedWhat you reply to or archive in Slack or Gmail is marked handled and leaves your Inbox, and what you have already read in Slack leaves too. The email half is built and waits for the jobs computer to come back online.The email half starts once the jobs computer (the Mac mini) is back online; then one check shows a handled email leaving your Inbox.
STEP 6Nothing on your lists is ever overdue; at midnight it becomes today's, Someday stays Someday95% done, not independently checkedThe nightly count now reads zero overdue tasks on the Hub board: at midnight an overdue task moves to today, and Someday stays Someday.One fresh nightly count reading zero overdue on the Hub board; the family To-Do half belongs to the family app's lane.
STEP 7The system's own notices say which screen, what looked wrong and why it matters, once100% provenThe Hub's own upkeep notices now read the way a person would say them, one per cause with no repeats. A second, separate check agreed, and the hourly tidy-up runs on its own.Nothing left.
STEP 8You tag Neeko on a card and he answers there with the whole thread in hand, once100% provenTagging Neeko on a card brings him the card and its whole thread, and he answers once, on that card. Proven live on 11 September.Nothing left.
STEP 9Polish: the screen, Neeko and voice never disagree about a record after an edit90% done, not independently checkedOn the live site one saved record was changed, then read back by typing, by speaking and on screen: all three gave the same answer, and the change was put back.One independent check that re-runs the three-way comparison (typed, spoken, on screen) and agrees.
STEP 10Polish: the progress screens read cleanly90% done, not independently checkedThe programme view matches its approved drawing on phone and desktop, light and dark, apart from the typeface, which waits for Chantelle's choice. A lane's own page now reads properly on a phone.The creative director's final grade of the progress screens.
STEP 11Polish: every role's Inbox opened once on both sizes and both themes100% provenEvery teammate's Inbox was opened on a phone and at a desk, in light and dark: all 24 views drew with no errors.Nothing left.
STEP 12Polish: one line saying the Hub lane is done0% not startedNot started; it is the last step.Close-out, once every other step is done.
STEP 13You switch on the Slack channels, chats, numbers and senders you actually want reaching your Inbox; choosing nothing means everything flows, as today100% provenYou approved the drawing, and it was built and published. Ticking a channel, chat, number or sender now decides what reaches your Inbox, the screen matches the drawing at both sizes and in both themes, and the creative director signed it off.Nothing left.
STEP 14The WhatsApp conversations you care about arrive in the same place as everything else10% partly doneThe Sources screen already shows WhatsApp's state in plain words. The feed itself, from your paired personal WhatsApp, is next.Build the feed from your already-paired personal WhatsApp into your Inbox, then prove one real chat arrives.
STEP 15Your text messages arrive in the same place too10% partly doneThe Sources screen already shows text messages as not set up. The feed itself, from the Messages app on your Mac, is next.Build the feed from the Messages app on your Mac into your Inbox, then prove one real text arrives.
STEP 16Your Slack in the Hub looks and behaves like Slack, and its numbers match what Slack shows you100% provenYour Slack in the Hub was measured against its approved Slack-like drawing and matched on phone and desktop, light and dark.Nothing left.
STEP 17Every screen on your Hub works at a glance on your phone and at your desk, including Talk85% done, not independently checkedEvery screen was graded twice by the creative director and two rounds of fixes are live, each measured on the real Hub: plain buttons, a labelled phone menu, old figures marked as old on their own tiles, one-line filters, tasks that open with one tap, and a Talk screen that says plainly when it is loading, can't reach Skippy, or has cleared something. A second fresh grade of every screen is under way.The creative director's second re-grade of every screen, the fixes it still asks for, and the Invoicing panel once Mae says it may change.
