Concept lab
Eight candidate features for the site, each a working prototype on its own page. The evidence demos use genuine public data (factory telemetry, a real merged PR); anything representative is labelled as such. Open one, then use the bar at the bottom to move between them.
These are prototypes to choose from — none are wired into the live site yet.
The Pulse Line
evidence · real dataThe hero's mono line stops claiming and starts reporting the factory's real vital signs — jobs shipped, pass rate, queue depth — each figure curl-able. Uses genuine aggregate telemetry.
Five Minutes, 33 Seconds
evidence · real GitHubA scrubbable replay of a real run: brief → three named agent reviews → merged in 5m33s. Every event deep-links to the public GitHub record you can audit.
References: My AI Staff
evidence · real reviewsVerbatim excerpts from the factory's reviewer agents assessing real PRs — a reference check no other portfolio can offer.
The Living Blueprint
signature · generativeA plotted general-arrangement drawing of the factory, generated from real data and plotting itself once on load — the claim made into an artifact.
Spot the Defect
play · interactiveA three-round review game with Go diffs — find the line the factory's reviewer flagged before you see the comment.
The Maintenance Ledger
evidenceA quiet table of the factory's self-maintenance jobs — the operational taxonomy that proves an org, not a demo.
The Title Block
identity · real build dataThe footer as a real engineering-drawing title block — DRAWN BY: GYRUM FACTORY AGENTS — stamped with this build’s live git SHA.
Hire Signal
conversionA one-line availability register in the machine voice, with copy-email — answers 'can I even get this person?' before they wonder.
Round two
Ten more — the bolder cuts from the first pass, plus 3D and game-DNA directions.
The Observatory
evidence · liveA page that breathes: real, recent factory activity polled live from public GitHub — 'since you arrived, N events' ticking up while you watch.
3D Factory
signature · WebGLA slow-turning three.js model of the plan → build → test → ship line — the pipeline as an object you can orbit, not a diagram.
Break Glass
play · wildBreak the page on purpose — the elements fall into a physics pile — then watch the pipeline dispatch a repair and snap it back. The whole thesis in fifteen seconds.
Cannon Drop — one shot
play · gameDrag, aim, fire — a ten-second playable shot of the physics game, drawn in site ink, right beside its card.
Operator Palette
play · ⌘KPress ⌘K for a dispatch console with real payloads — 'cv --json', 'factory status', 'play cannon-drop' — the reflex every engineer has, rewarded.
tail -f factory.log
play · real logA real typed terminal whose killer command streams genuine recent factory events from public GitHub at log cadence.
Factory Plates
identity · drawnProject cards as bespoke single-stroke technical drawings — a ballistic arc for Cannon Drop, a refraction diagram for Prism Light — not screenshots.
Stone at Night
identity · darkDark mode as a statement: warm near-black, copper cooled to a worklamp glow, and one line that only night visitors read — 'the factory runs while you sleep.'
Measured Headings
identity · evidenceYour name gets dimension lines and a callout — 20 YRS, 93 SHIPPED — the visual rhetoric of a drawing, annotated with true data.
Brief Mode
conversion'In a hurry?' collapses the site into a one-screen hiring dossier — identity, scale, proof, availability, contact — and doubles as the print layout.
Round three — graphics
Ten visual pieces — WebGL, generative, and canvas — in the stone/copper palette.
Deploy Globe
graphics · WebGLA slow-turning wireframe globe with copper arcs from Bristol to every place a Gyrum product ships — the reach of the factory as an object.
3D Wordmark
graphics · WebGLAn extruded copper-on-stone monogram that turns slowly and catches the light — a signature mark you can orbit.
Shader Field
graphics · GLSLA living copper-on-stone gradient — a hand-written fragment shader flowing behind the hero, calm and organic, never a stock gradient.
Throughput Terrain
graphics · real dataThe factory’s real wait/run/lead percentiles sculpted into an orbitable 3D terrain — the numbers as a landscape.
Commit Constellation
graphics · real dataRecent real factory activity from public GitHub, plotted as a slowly-drifting 3D constellation — each star a genuine event.
Isometric Factory
graphics · canvasA drawn isometric factory floor — four stations, a running conveyor, agents at their posts — the pipeline as a little working diorama.
Stack Graph
graphics · real dataA force-directed graph linking every real project to the tech it’s built with — drag a node and the whole web settles.
Generative Plate
graphics · seededA unique plotted drawing generated deterministically from the real deploy SHA — every build would draw its own one-off plate.
Flow Field
graphics · canvasA calm copper particle flow drifting over stone — a contained, opt-in field of motion drawn in the site’s own ink.
Particle Name
graphics · canvasYour name assembles from a scatter of copper particles and settles — then holds perfectly still.
