The decision moment
A parent at the kitchen table trying to answer one question: is my kid on track to graduate, and if not, what is the next move?
The constraint
The answer was locked in a dense, static district PDF — credits and eligibility rules you had to track and interpret by hand, with the binding requirement buried three pages deep.
What shipped
- Static dashboard that translates a dense policy PDF into a status bar + course timeline
- No login, no tracking — designed for a parent on a phone at the kitchen table
- Same lens used in the consulting work: find the moment of decision, surface the constraint, make the next step obvious
What changed
- The policy PDF became a living visual roadmap — a status bar plus a course timeline.
- Progress is visible, not inferred; constraints surface early, not after a mistake.
- Everyone — parent, student, counsellor — reads the same source of truth.
- No login, no tracking — it loads for a parent on a phone in seconds.
See it
This is the lens I bring to client work. Find the moment of decision, surface the constraint, make the next step obvious — then ship it in production, evaluated.
