Clock Cards, Badge Racks and the Workplace Record: a distinct production scene

01

Visibility can be a feature

A physical card system makes a state legible at a glance, but it also creates handling, storage and reconciliation work. A digital system hides the physical board and introduces different questions about access and auditability.

The decision is about the workplace routine, not nostalgia for a device.

02

Document the handoff

Name who issues, corrects, reviews and stores the record. If the workflow has no clear owner, a more sophisticated device will not solve the underlying gap.
