4 initiatives in flight

Tea Laboratory

Layered deduction cockpit

Track overlapping tea experiments with a triangular infusion grid, deduction matrix, and annotated ingredient panels so every mix is repeatable from a seed.

Job to be done
Keep sleuths oriented with onboarding, seed controls, and clear fallbacks when notes and overlays get busy.

Copy a link tied to the current seed for easier handoffs or debugging.

Seeds stabilize your grid layout, layering order, and deduction matrix so teammates can replay the same investigation.

Toggle overlays to reduce clutter; annotations still ride along with each cell so you can pivot quickly.

Result logging hint

Toggle contextual guidance on how recorded brew results narrow the hidden flavor signatures without solving the puzzle for you.

Overlay aromas, heat, and texture with reusable notes.

Actions

Draw, mix, and sell to keep the sleuth loop tight. Actions update your session state without overwriting the seed.

Awaiting your first action.

Taste it for science overlay

Simple tester placeholder; toggle it to imagine sharing brews with a helper before we add penalties.

Experiment notes
Anchor quick copy points for onboarding or handoffs.

Seed-linked sessions make remote collaboration painless. Enter a memorable seed, tune overlays to reduce noise, then reuse the same path to replay the deduction.

The triangle grid favors quick annotation stacking. Aroma layers sit up top, texture fills the middle, and heat markings trail along the base so your eye knows where to land.

When you are ready to sell, snapshot your deduction matrix and lock the prep table. The pantry stays untouched so you can rerun mixes without reshuffling your hand.
