- Readable anywhere. Large dark text on screen, no light grey. On paper everything is black, 9 pt minimum.
- Yellow means act. Yellow marks only your next action, today and the current step, always with black text on it.
- Status by shape, not colour. Empty, half, solid, striped. It works in the sun, on a black and white printer and for colour-blind people.
- One subject per page. Long screens are split into tabs; the first tab is what you do most. Long lists load 15 at a time.
- Nothing is typed twice. Hours come from the gate, the budget from the BOQ, the program from the plan, names from the profile.
- Nothing important disappears. Hand-offs, corrections, voids and documents stay on record with who and when.
- Brisbane time, ex GST. Times are stored in UTC and shown in Brisbane time. Money is ex GST unless it says otherwise.
Motion and sound
Motion is short and functional: bars fill, figures count up, the confirmation box pops, Approved lands like a stamp. A page loading shows a spirit level; an empty screen draws a floor plan. All motion stops under your device's reduced-motion setting.
Short sounds mark a confirmed decision, a card moved, a new notice and a refused save. Switch them off under Look in the account menu.
