01
Feature thinking
A feature gives a user a capability, such as search, playback, compare, or export. A feature can be valuable, but by itself it may still leave the user responsible for turning output into action.
02
Workflow thinking
A workflow starts with a trigger, performs an activity, reaches a conclusion, and leaves an evidence trail. The workflow is complete only when the decision or action loop is closed.
03
The safety example
Searching for a person near a machine is useful. A stronger workflow detects a risk, creates an observation, assigns ownership, escalates if unresolved, records closeout, and reports recurrence.
Checkpoint
Pick one construction technology capability and describe the workflow it should complete.
