Problem -> Data -> System -> Visual Insight

A seed visual that gives the lab its first repeatable artifact pattern.

Problem to action visual system map A left-to-right flow from real-world problem through data, system model, interactive explanation, beautiful point, software pattern, and action. Problem messy world Data evidence System structure Visual explanation Point leverage Software pattern Act
Problem -> data -> system -> visual insight -> software pattern -> action.

The first reusable visual pattern is a flow:

  1. Start with a messy real-world problem.
  2. Collect the data signal.
  3. Build the system model.
  4. Create an interactive or diagrammatic explanation.
  5. Name the beautiful point.
  6. Translate it into a software pattern or action.

This is the lab’s default artifact grammar. Future visuals can become more specific, but the first version should make the publishing loop clear.
