Town HallShared operational awareness

What’s happening right now?

The board combines automatic work events with short human context. It is designed so managers do not have to chase people for daily reports.

This is V0: seeded demo data + local interactions. Nothing connects to Deputy or production systems yet.

People

Broad-strokes visibility: current work, status, blockers, next action, and the last meaningful update.

Work & Projects

Organize awareness around outcomes as well as employees. Time online is not a productivity score.

Manager Exceptions

Management sees gaps and dependencies, not surveillance. The system surfaces what requires attention.

Simulated Deputy Integration

Deputy remains the source of truth during transition. V0 demonstrates how natural timekeeping moments can capture context without another report.

Integration Map

Town Hall sits above existing systems first. Each source keeps authority until migration is intentional and proven.

V0 shows the plan, not live credentials

V0 → Final Vision

Integrate Deputy first, prove parity, then replace it only when the company is confident in scheduling, time, expenses and exports.

Why This Should Actually Get Used

The prototype is designed around the failure of the second whiteboard: a shared board is useless unless input becomes part of how work happens.

Origin story: A construction-site whiteboard kept the crew broadly aware of inspections, pours, priorities and upcoming work. On a later site the same habit did not exist, and day-to-day awareness disappeared. The digital version must make participation part of normal workflow rather than an optional side task.
