Plumb
Intake and monthly performance for a multi-site program, running on nothing but Google.
Plumb performance dashboard as an administrator, showing goals on track, at risk and off track
"Google says its tools are everything an organization needs to run. I took that as a dare."
Plumb is an experiment, and the name is a working label rather than a decision. It runs intake and monthly performance for a program with several sites: a request arrives, somebody gets named as responsible, and the next step is written down, while each site enters its numbers every month and the goals show whether anything is actually improving.
The rule was that it could use nothing but Google. The screens look like software a company would charge real money for, and behind them there is no server and no database. The backend is a spreadsheet and some documents, dressed in an interface that hides all of it. I do not write code. PRISM, the assembly line of AI skills I build with, did the writing while I decided what the thing had to do.
I could not let you loose in the real one. It runs on my own Google account, and the app can reach my files and send mail as me, so putting it on the public internet would hand strangers a door into my own workspace. This demo is the honest version instead: the same interface, running on invented data inside your browser. Nothing you type here leaves the page.
The part worth clicking is the role switch along the top. One link gives an administrator every site, regional staff one region, and site staff one site, and the walls are enforced by the code rather than hidden in the layout. Create a request, move it through its statuses, watch the version number climb and the history fill in. Press Reset when you want it back the way it started.
