Role templates
Owner command centre, tech bay view, advisor front desk, and finance-focused layouts — start from a template, then rearrange.
Product · Owner intelligence
Workshop Wrench ships a widget canvas owners can reshape: KPI tiles, charts, attention lists, and role templates. Core shop health numbers roll up from the board and money path. Trend series carry an explicit source — live, mock, or hybrid — so we never dress warehouse aspirations as Connected BI.
Modular canvas
Built as a composable owner surface — not a fixed report PDF. Role defaults get you productive; the catalog lets each shop rearrange for its week.
Owner command centre, tech bay view, advisor front desk, and finance-focused layouts — start from a template, then rearrange.
Open jobs, ARO, deferred $, AR, board mix, tech efficiency, deferred-by-area, and attention lists from a shared domain catalog.
Drag-and-drop canvas with size hints so the Monday meeting surface matches how your shop actually runs.
Blocked ROs and high-priority jobs sit next to the metric that made them visible — not a vanity chart alone.
Live + mock hybrid
Series and widgets report maturity with status labels. Integrations and incomplete charts never use Connected for stubs or mock fills.
Open jobs, awaiting auth/parts, ready, AR, revenue MTD, ARO, deferred opportunity — tenant-scoped from live board and invoice state.
Jobs that need a human decision, derived from board stage and urgency — bridges metric to RO.
Widget catalog, role templates, and layout editing in the app. Server-persisted layouts deepen as W5 ships; offline/local fallback remains honest.
Named series (revenue, board mix, efficiency, deferred area, …) return source: live | mock | hybrid. UI can badge maturity — we do not pretend full warehouse BI.
ARO, car count, efficiency-style metrics live in @wrench/domain — marketing and product share the same language.
Metabase-class warehouse and long-horizon fact tables are out of band — not claimed as Connected today.
Trust the number
Thin-margin shops die on unbilled labour, weak ARO, and invisible deferred work. Metrics map to how you run the floor.
Average repair order — typically sales ÷ car count. We document the definition used in product rather than a black-box score.
Open declined or deferred estimate value still recoverable — so “no” work is not forgotten sticky notes.
Open jobs by stage (inspection, awaiting auth, waiting parts, ready) so throughput bottlenecks are visible.
Deepens as job-linked timers are used — Partial until clock adoption makes the series trustworthy.

FAQ
Structured for humans and search. We update when ship status changes.
Core KPI summary tiles and attention lists are live from tenant data. Chart series are a live + mock hybrid: each series can report source live, mock, or hybrid. We label maturity instead of claiming Connected warehouse analytics.
Average repair order — typically sales divided by car count. Definitions vary slightly by shop; Workshop Wrench documents the formula in domain theory so owners can defend the number in a Monday meeting.
Yes — start from owner, tech, advisor, or finance templates, then add, remove, resize, and reorder widgets. Multi-device server layouts continue to harden in the analytics wave.
No. Integrations and incomplete series use Live, Live+, Partial, Stub, Dry-run, Planned, or Roadmap — never Connected for stubs or mock fills.
