Understand the Rules.
Know the Limits.
Nine fictional business experiments demonstrate how operating controls change a decision. Each experience provides visible inputs, a result, supporting evidence, assumptions, an accountable next action, and a downloadable brief.
Scenario calculations and the mock automation ledger run in your browser. No real customer, invoice, payment, message, or external system is changed. Explanations are generated from explicit rules, not a live AI model. Reloading or resetting clears the current experiment.
Choose an Operating Question
| Experiment | What Must Be Established |
|---|---|
| Handoff Failure Lab | Named receiver, criteria, prerequisite, and acceptance |
| Automation Stress Test | Authorization, freshness, deduplication, and reconciliation |
| Decision Room | Value evidence, buying authority, and current usage |
| Scope & Margin | Effort, loaded cost, capacity, and priced scope |
| Outcome Verification | Completion, acceptance, baseline, and measured result |
| Key Person Absence | Backup authority, access, and practiced instructions |
| Knowledge Repair | Owner, exception path, current policy, and user test |
| Promise Tracker | Recorded promise, feasible scope, acceptance, and proof |
| Decision Review | Baseline, comparison, measurement window, and total cost |
Two Different Sources of Evidence
Experiments use versioned, reproducible synthetic scenarios. They have relative working days and do not require a live integration. Industry dashboards read dated snapshots from an isolated Monday demo workspace. Their publication timestamp and record-change timestamps describe different things.
Refreshing a snapshot may establish that the source was checked without establishing that any work changed. Data & Service Status exposes both. Dashboard records and account scores remain fictional, including when they are recently synchronized.
Dashboard Metric Corrections
These October 13 definitions supersede the corresponding descriptions in the dated October 5 documentation and PDFs.
- Needs attention: unique open tasks that are Stuck, overdue relative to the current Eastern date, or missing status, due date, or next action. A task with several signals is counted once.
- Upcoming work: open tasks due in the current and next five weeks. Completed and undated tasks are excluded. Week boundaries use Eastern calendar dates. This is a due-date distribution, not an effort or capacity forecast.
- Matched utilization: spend divided by budget only for records with both values. Zero matched budget yields Not measured, not 0%.
- Ownership and outcomes: the existing task feed does not contain structured task owners or acceptance records. Account ownership is separate. These limitations are visible; the experiments demonstrate the additional controls without inventing source evidence.
- Freshness: compare the publication timestamp with the latest elapsed daily 2:00 a.m. Eastern slot, with 60 minutes of grace. The existing overnight maintenance task owns this refresh. An endpoint status does not prove that a scheduler is enabled.
How Results Stay Honest
Missing evidence stays missing. Scenario choices do not produce guaranteed revenue, causal attribution, actual client results, or measured cost savings. The scope model separates capacity from effort and contribution from net profit. The absence model does not add overlapping waiting times. The decision-review model never converts an observational improvement into causal proof.
Maintenance and Release Discipline
The site source contains an operating runbook, versioned scenario logic, and automated regression checks. Changes must pass the calculation, isolation, recovery, and route checks before publication. The existing overnight task performs daily health checks and a Monday quality review that checks the live feeds, linked refresh task, record counts, scenario assets, and review dates. Readback verifies the publication; a successful workflow run alone is insufficient.
The experiment engine has no model API charges and requires no database writes. The dashboard still depends on its scheduled source refresh. Source changes are versioned separately from stored demo snapshots so a code release does not overwrite current data.
