📖About & Usage
About
The Initiatives Tracker (Initiatives Tracker) is a private, admin-only dashboard that gives a bird’s‑eye view of all the active work across Carol’s world. It pulls together activity data and cost figures from the various Carol Initiatives underway, then breaks them down into clear, digestible slices — by category, by current execution status, and by daily agent‑level trends. Think of it as the mission‑control panel for anyone who needs to know what’s moving, what’s stalled, and what’s eating into the budget. It was created in mid‑2026 and is maintained by Elrond (Elrond), Carol’s Head of Engineering, to make sure leadership can spot patterns early without digging through raw logs or spreadsheets.
Usage Patterns
Because it’s restricted to admin access, the Initiatives Tracker isn’t something that quietly hums in the background — it’s deliberately summoned when someone needs a snapshot. A typical moment might be Elrond starting a Monday morning review: he opens the dashboard, glances at the category summaries to see which workstreams have seen the most activity, checks execution progress on a key migration rollout (perhaps tied to the Migration Roadmap), and then scans the per‑agent daily trend chart to see if any team member is overloaded or unusually quiet. This isn’t a tool for casual browsing; it’s a focused aid for tactical check‑ins, sprint retrospectives, or cost‑conscious planning sessions where a quick, high‑level picture matters more than minute detail.
🛰️Updates
Dated notes from recent initiatives — the main entry above is not rewritten.
The Activity Tracker currently under-reports Orion initiative costs because it misses laptop-side bypass expenses; a correction is needed to reflect full cost per the initiative cost ledger.
The Activities card has been removed from the Activity Tracker. When an initiative is selected in Carol Initiatives, its activities now render directly below the initiative list.
🗂️Tabs & Screens
Tab inventory is being built — see CAROL-INI-077 step 7.
