Old console was a chat playground. New console is a guided,
chapter-based explanation that a non-technical staffing staffer
can read top-down and finish convinced — without needing to
understand any of the underlying technology.
Six chapters, each loading live data:
1. Right now, this system is already thinking
Four stats cards pulled live: construction pipeline $, predicted
worker demand, rows under management, playbooks remembered. Then
a narrative that names the current alert posture (critical/tight/ok).
2. The demand signal is real, not made up
Expandable rows per Chicago permit work_type, with a direct link to
data.cityofchicago.org for verification. Pill labeled LIVE ·
DATA.CITYOFCHICAGO.ORG leaves no ambiguity.
3. Where your own data would live
Catalog enumerated with three pill classes:
- SWAP FOR YOUR DATA (purple) — the synthetic tables that would
be replaced by the client's ATS/CRM/call-log exports
- SYSTEM-GENERATED (blue) — playbook memory, threat_intel, kb_*
produced by the system itself
Row counts + columns visible. Names it honestly.
4. Watch the system rank candidates in real time
Takes the freshest Chicago permit, walks the staffer through all
three steps (derive need → narrow via SQL → rank + boost), shows
the top-5 workers with why, boost chip, memory chip, timeline,
and a plain-English narrative of the CRM gap.
5. Every action compounds
Playbook memory count + sample + narrative about what it means
when the staffer logs a fill.
6. Try it yourself
Free-text input hitting /intelligence/chat, renders response
with memory chip + boost chips + ranked workers.
Security: all API-derived strings go through textContent or

File size: 419 → ~500 lines. Visual style matches the dashboard
(same palette, typography, chip styles) so the two pages feel
like one app.
