FUNCTIONAL FRAGILITY DASHBOARD
Version 1.6

  IN SHORT: open Functional-Fragility-Dashboard.html on a Windows PC or a
  Mac, then choose Snapshots and Open snapshot, and select
  examples/01-current.json. That gives you a worked example to look round
  rather than an empty screen. The rest of this note is detail.


WHAT IS IN THIS FOLDER

  Functional-Fragility-Dashboard.html   The tool. One file, nothing to install.
  Licence-and-scope.pdf                 Licence, and what this is and is not.
  Start-here.txt                        This file.

  examples/
    01-current.json                     A worked example: a fictional unit,
                                        as it stands today.
    02-three-months-ago.json            The same unit three months earlier.
    03-six-months-ago.json              The same unit six months earlier.

  The three examples exist so you can try the trend feature without waiting
  three months to generate your own history.


BEFORE YOU START: THIS NEEDS A COMPUTER

  Use a Windows PC or a Mac.

  iPhones and iPads cannot open a downloaded HTML file properly. Apple's
  Files app shows it in a preview window that blocks the code from running,
  and there is no way to force it into Safari. You will see a page that
  looks broken. Nothing is wrong with the file.

  If you are on an iPhone or iPad, or you would rather not download
  anything, open it directly in your browser instead:

      sophymerrick.com/tools

  Android will open the downloaded file in Chrome without difficulty.


GETTING GOING, IN FIVE STEPS

  1. Save all of these somewhere local. Your Desktop or Documents folder is
     fine. Not a network drive, and not a document preview window.

  2. Double-click Functional-Fragility-Dashboard.html. It opens in your
     browser. Chrome or Edge are both fine.

  3. Rather than starting from a blank page, choose Snapshots, then
     Open snapshot, and select examples/01-current.json. That loads a
     fictional operations unit so you can see what a populated dashboard
     looks like, and gives you something to click around in.

  4. To see how movement over time is presented, choose Snapshots, then
     Build trend, and select all three files in the examples folder at
     once. You should see red items falling across the three dates.

  5. When you want your own, choose Snapshots, then Clear all working data,
     and start with your own people. Owners, key persons and backups are all
     chosen from that list, so add people first.

  There is a full guide inside the tool. Choose Guide in the top right.

  Nothing in the examples folder is real. The people, systems and incidents
  are invented. Delete the folder once you are done with it.


WHERE YOUR DATA LIVES

  In your browser, on your device. Nothing is sent anywhere. There is no
  account, no server and no network call of any kind. Nobody, including the
  author, can see what you enter.

  That also means clearing your browser data will remove your working copy.
  Export a snapshot at the end of each assessment and file it. That file is
  the record.


A FEW THINGS WORTH KNOWING

  This is free, and it is unsupported. There is no helpdesk and no
  obligation on anyone to answer questions about it.

  It is an assessment aid. It is not regulatory advice, it is not a risk
  framework, and it does not replace whatever your firm already uses.

  It records personal data about named individuals if you enter it. You are
  the controller of that data. It deliberately holds no ethnicity, religion,
  sexual orientation, gender, age, disability or health information, and
  provides no field for any of them.

  Please read Licence-and-scope.pdf before using it in earnest.


WHO MADE IT

  Designed and specified by Sophy Merrick, an individual rather than a
  company. The code was written by Claude, an AI assistant made by Anthropic,
  working to that specification. The design decisions, and the accountability
  for what the tool does, are the author's.

  If it was useful, or if you disagree with how it reads fragility, that is
  worth more to hear than a download count.
