Business-jet repair station
Six hangar positions, inspections, avionics, and AOG work. Work orders and purchase orders are current, kept to the hour. The manpower plan is stale: it was built on Monday, before three AOG arrivals. Approvals are dark. Eleven findings are waiting on owners, and nobody logs how long each quote sits before a yes; that wait puts two aircraft past their promised date and keeps finished work off the invoices. The hours technicians spend waiting on parts are dark too. The Frame shows the chain from an owner's inbox to the cash, and writes nothing back to your records.

The company and the numbers are invented. The shape is the one we find.

Each row is one record. The band pinches when the record changes and widens as it ages. Past today it is the Frame looking ahead, and it stops where it can no longer say.
- the record changed
- top row: how far ahead the whole picture could see, day by day
- your own move, marked so the Frame doesn't read it as a trend
- a change in one row showing up in another, and how long it took
- already on the calendar, so it doesn't fade
- Past this line the Frame can't say: Approvals is dark.
