KAIRO / Access Map

Style and metaphor gallery

Everything built so far, in one scrollable page. Two style directions are still live, two metaphor sets are rejected, one style is parked as backup. New variations get added to this same page.

Chalk Class, live Whiteboard, live Field Guide, backup Sets 1 and 2 rejected Set 3 up for review

Set 3, the collision approach

Newest, awaiting your call

One question, three different answers — Same words, three answers

Note saying do anything, assistant still asks — The note changes nothing

New yes rule at the bottom, never read — Your fix is never read
