Examples

Four canvases, whole and close in.

Each one is a .tgraf file in a repo. They were drawn the way an assistant draws: the trunk and its main branches in one call, then a call per branch, with the categories chosen up front so the colours mean something.


Northgate Health

A primary care pathway

Triage through to referral: what counts as a red flag, who decides, and what has to be written down at each step.

A primary care pathway drawn whole: triage, red flags, referral and what gets recorded

The whole canvas, framed with ⌘0.

The same pathway close in: red flags, and the decision to manage or refer
