Helicopter to Detail

A big idea. Five levels closer.

1Goal

One home for 11 demos.

2Approach

See it. Open it.

Big screenshots. One short line.

3Steps

Collect. Build. Check.

Gather the demos, choose the images, build the page, test the links.

4Blueprint

Two columns.
One on your phone.

Static HTML. Direct links.

5Verification

11 links.
Nothing lost.

Desktop, phone and keyboard checked. Existing pages kept.

The method, applied to this homepage.

Go Workflow

An AI build workflow. One real website change.

Keep the demos.
Lose the detours.

The homepage still sent visitors to pages in the old style.

11 old links removed.

The demos still open directly.

A change.
With a check.

  • 11 demo links kept
  • 3 contact links kept
  • 158 other pages unchanged
A completed change to this website.

A quiet corner, a few herbs, somewhere to sit. Making it happen with Sam Example.

Herbs beside the path. A bench in the shade. A little space left to grow.

First idea by Sam Example for the community garden.

Fictional notes

Knowledge Pyramid

Start with the same measure.

400 g

Pocket
Oats

€2.40per pack

€0.60 per 100 g

750 g

Pantry
Oats

€3.60per pack

€0.48 per 100 g

Pocket Oats has the lower pack price. Pantry Oats costs less per 100 g.

Show the maths

Price ÷ grams × 100

Pocket Oats
€2.40 ÷ 400 × 100 = €0.60
Pantry Oats
€3.60 ÷ 750 × 100 = €0.48

Source-backed Synthesis

Does working from home work?

Different setups.
Different results.

Hybrid: fewer quits
“We found that hybrid working improved job satisfaction and reduced quit rates by one-third.”

Trip.com · 1,612 staff · Up to 2 home days/week.

Measured performance did not decline.

Bloom, Han & Liang · Nature, 2024
Remote: slower data entry
“the productivity of workers randomly assigned to WFH is 18% lower than those in the office.”

India · 235 recruits · Fully remote or office.

Productivity here: correct entries per minute.

Atkin, Schoar & Shinde · NBER, 2023 Working paper · revised December 2023
Why uncertain?

Different jobs, schedules and measures.

Neither trial directly compares hybrid with fully remote work. These results do not tell us what works best for every team.

Next: evidence from a comparable team and task.

AI skills

Pick a skill. Take a prompt.

Brainstorm example

A tool shelf for the street

Neighbours buy tools they use once. Could they share?

First move

Try a paper sign-up sheet with five neighbours before building an app.

Show prompt
Audit example

A sign-up plan with gaps

Email → Join → Thank you. What is missing?

First move

Specify failed submissions before promising a successful sign-up.

Show prompt
Debug example

One click. Two counts.

The counter starts at 0. One click on Add shows 2.

First move

Reproduce one click → 2. Isolate the extra increment before changing the code.
