1Principles

Problem	Question	Decision
Five dashboards, one mental model	Can an algorithm synthesize faster than a human?	Build composite nowcast

Picture

Gauge dashboard: five needles converging to one composite reading, green/amber/red zones

2Performance

Problem	Question	Decision
Drift invisible between reviews	Can sub-second nowcast catch what weekly meetings miss?	Wire all 5 signals

Picture

Split clock: left side shows 45-minute manual review, right shows 2-second algorithm output

3Platform

Problem	Question	Decision
Signals exist, synthesis doesn't	What's the minimum new code to connect them?	30% new, 70% compose

Picture

Architecture: algorithm framework box with five signal pipes feeding into nowcast engine

4Process

Sprint	What	Effort	Acceptance
S0	Constants + baselines	0.5d	Config in file
S1	Collectors + normalization	2d	0-1 per signal
S2	Composite + classification	2d	Valid NowcastResult
S3	Recommendations	1d	topRisk populated

Problem	Question	Decision
Thresholds are opinions until tested	Which defaults let us start learning?	Ship conservative, tune with data

Picture

Build sequence: S0 constants, S1 collectors, S2 composite, S3 recommendations, S4 wire

5Players

Job	Struggling Moment	Hidden Objection
Know if on track	45 min across 5 dashboards	"A single number can't capture this"
Detect drift early	Problem compounds silently	"False alarms worse than none"

Problem	Question	Decision
Missed regression visible in data 3 days earlier	Would a nowcast have caught it?	Test on historical signals

Context

Which prompt in the pipeline nowcast deck would most change a stakeholder's position if answered with evidence rather than assumption?

Which deck slide contains the highest-stakes bet — the one that, if wrong, makes the whole PRD invalid?
If this deck were presented to a skeptic rather than a believer, which slide would receive the strongest objection?
Which question in this prompt deck has the clearest answer right now — and which requires the most validation?
