I noticed that on most task boards, teams could see what status a task was in, but not who was actually blocking it or how long it had been stuck. Work would silently stall in handoffs someone hands off a task and it just sits there and nobody noticed until it became a crisis. The core decision was making 'time stalled' a first-class signal, not something buried in an activity log. I added a stall threshold anything sitting untouched past 24 hours gets flagged automatically and built out dashboard metrics like average handoff latency and tasks awaiting approval, so a manager could see bottlenecks at a glance instead of digging through individual tickets. I also added an AI generated weekly ops report, so teams get a summary of what's stalling without having to manually compile it. It's currently a portfolio project rather than something with live users, so I don't have adoption numbers yet but the goal was to prove out a specific idea: that visibility into blockers, not just status, is what actually prevents work from falling through the cracks. It's the kind of problem I like solving taking something that's normally invisible and making it impossible to ignore.
