What we do
Potters log from a phone in a few taps; owners see how many pieces sit at each stage, waiting. Every action is a log entry, so the state is derived and never edited.
The problem
Two owners, several potters, and a production state that lived in people's heads and on paper. Nobody could say how many pieces were waiting to dry, or whether an order would ship on time, without asking three different people.
The fix
Potters log what they made from a phone, in a few taps, in their own language. The owners open one screen and see how many pieces are sitting at each step of the process, waiting.
How it was built
Every action is a log entry, so the current state is always derived and never edited in place. A tracker this specific was never worth building before. AI writes the code now, and that is the only reason a studio this size can afford a tool made for it alone.
What it left behind
Version one was technically correct and useless: it showed how many pieces had passed each stage. The studio thinks in piles waiting for the next pair of hands. The tool has to match the way the work is held in the head.
