Day zero This is the desk on 30 September, the day SCOUT opens. It is empty because nothing has been taught to it yet, and that is the offer: what you tell it over the next fortnight is what it becomes.
Fourteen days on, 14 October The open canvas is what ships on 30 September. Everything on this screen is the fortnight after it: the collaboration layer, built out of what this person told the desk.
