The platform
The screen layout, the full navigation, and the surfaces where leaders work the RunOlga model.
Phase 1
The RunOlga model describes the concepts — Priorities, Metrics, Issues, Seats. This section describes the surfaces: the screens where leaders actually work those concepts every day. Phase 1 ships a working screen for every item in the navigation.
The screen layout
The layout is locked (the "Original layout"): three columns, with Olga part of the workspace rather than a window you open.
| Column | What it is |
|---|---|
| Left | A narrow navigation column (44–48px) with an icon for every section |
| Middle | The main content area — whichever section the user selected |
| Right | Olga's panel — 240–280px, always visible, collapsible |
The visual language — palette, monogram, and how Olga looks — is specified in Design.
The navigation
The left navigation shows every place a leader can go. Phase 1 ships all of it — including two items that open as labeled stubs for later phases.
| Navigation item | What it is | Where it's documented |
|---|---|---|
| My View | The personalized home page | My View |
| Vision | Mission, 10/3/1-year vision, core values | Vision |
| People | Seat Map, role definitions, accountability map | The Accountability Chart |
| Data (Scorecard) | Weekly and periodic metrics | Metrics |
| Issues | Problems documented, worked, resolved | Issues |
| Processes | The documented-procedures library | Processes |
| Priorities | 90-day priorities and their tasks | Priorities and Tasks |
| Meetings | Meetings scheduled, run, and documented | Meetings |
| Planner | Scheduled work laid out by day and hour | The Planner |
| To-Dos | Each user's combined task list | To-Dos |
| Announcements | Company- and team-wide messages | Announcements |
| Knowledge | The internal document library | The Knowledge base |
| Directory | Everyone in the organization | Directory |
| Insights | Charts and reports — Phase 2 stub | See below |
| One-on-Ones | People assessments — Phase 3 stub | People reviews |
| Settings | Add Teammates, Feedback, Help, Profile | Settings |
The two stubs
Two navigation items are visible in Phase 1 but deliberately not functional. Each opens a short, honest message instead of pretending:
- Insights — "Insights will be available in Phase 2 — reports showing trends across your scorecard, priorities, issues, and meetings."
- One-on-Ones — "One-on-Ones will be available in Phase 3 — a framework for people assessments."
Showing the stubs keeps the navigation stable as the product grows: nothing moves when a phase arrives, it just switches on. The full phase map lives in Scope & roadmap.
The six main sections
RunOlga organizes the business into six areas — Vision, People, Data, Issues, Processes, and Traction (Priorities and Meetings together). The model pages describe what each area means and how Olga participates in it; the surfaces above are where the work happens.
