Maps, not lists

Lists are honest. They are also what every template already is. The work I care about has territory: a client site is larger than a weekend game because it had to live.

That is why the Atlas metaphor. Not fantasy. A Swedish survey sheet: coordinates, contour, legend. If the 3D never loads, the index still has to be a document worth reading.

Weight as land

Bigger projects become bigger countries. That is a joke and a measurement. Duration, risk, and whether a stranger paid for it all show up as scale. A recruiter who hates globes still gets a numbered rail.
