If I could fix one thing first, it would be this. Two indexes, built read-only against the Design share, that answer a question we currently answer from memory: what is this job, and where is everything that belongs to it?

← Back to the four questions
01 · The artwork side
Every S-code we have ever issued, matched against the server, with a confidence level on whether the artwork we found is really the right file.

02 · The structural side
Every die line we own, catalogued for the first time — category, substrate, variants, and whether anyone outside the art department can open it.

An S-code is the artwork. A die line is the structure it prints on. Today they are tracked in two unrelated places — one spreadsheet and a folder tree — and nothing joins them.
So answering "what did we run for this customer last year, and on what" is an act of memory rather than a lookup.
The S-code register worked perfectly for decades because one person held it in his head. He retired. What now looks like disorganisation is the shape of the hole he left.
These two indexes are the beginning of writing that down — without asking anyone to fill in a form. They read what we already produce.
One identity per job, first email to last carton. The S-code, the die line, the prototype and the artwork travelling together under one reference.
Combining the PM number and the S-code into a single identifier is already a live conversation here — it came up on 2 September, independently of me.
Both pages are read-only and deliberately sanitised for sharing — no server paths, no
SMB links, no filenames, and no customer artwork. People appear as initials. The live versions on my
machine show the rendered picture for 4,061 S-codes and give a pasteable server path for all 4,292
die-line files.
Everything here was built by read-only crawl. Nothing on the Design share — 602,430 files, twenty years
of customer artwork — was moved, renamed or written, and the tooling is blocked from writing to it at
three layers.
