Almanac to video, pipeline tracker

Every video from one Email Almanac answer, tracked across every step, with a status in every cell. This is where the pipeline's state lives, so it survives stop-and-start work and shows what is done and what is left. Combined questions are one row.

RME-33

Not indexed. Not the live site. Use Hypothesis on the right edge to highlight a line and leave a note.

Needs YT now

The gates, in one place. A stage sits here when it is drafted or rendered and waiting on YT to confirm. Nothing moves past a gate until she says yes.

The board

Scroll sideways to see every step. The four gated steps carry a marker, they are the hard stops where YT confirms. The MP4 step is never rendered until she confirms.

The four gates, nobody skips them

  1. Gate 1, the script. YT confirms the script before anything is drawn.
  2. Gate 2, the storyboard. YT confirms the storyboard HTML before anything is generated.
  3. Gate 3, the MP4. Never render or edit into MP4 until YT confirms.
  4. Gate 4, the cuts. YT confirms the cuts before they are sized and queued.

The videos, in detail

One card per row. This is the space to annotate, the source answer, the script, the lead magnet, and what is holding each video.

How this board works, and how to move a video

The truth is the data, not the picture. Every status you see is read from a single object committed in this file. That is what lets it survive stop-and-start work and what keeps everyone looking at the same thing, there is no hidden browser state.

Facts on any script come from the Email Almanac snapshot only, cited by question number. The board never carries an email fact, it only tracks where each video is.
