What Openhood does

  • Sees assignments and review state change without a separate briefing.
  • Answers customer and floor questions from the same live surface.
  • Sees the day moving without manually asking for every update.

What it doesn’t do

  • Realtime covers in-scope workshop changes, settings, admin, and analytics reads aren't positioned as live broadcasts.
  • Desktop offline hardening isn't the same as fully offline customer-facing sends.
