Braun-analog status for the build journey.

Six ways to render project phase progress and individual item status — drawn from Dieter Rams / Braun instrument design: VU meters, arc dials, dual color blocks, mode-selector rails, and precision tickers. Each concept shows both a Project Status version (Inquiry → Delivered, 8 phases) and an Item Status version (Ordered → Delivered, 6 stages). Static mockup for review.

OPTION 1 — VU Meter Bars Vintage audio VU meter. Thin vertical segments fill toward the current phase, marked by a taller orange bar. Reads instantly as “how far along.”

OPTION 6 — Signal Line / HUD Dark precision-instrument mode: a HUD readout in Fragment Mono beside a glowing signal line — filled accent nodes for done phases, a pulsing glow ring on the current node, hollow nodes ahead. Sci-fi meets measuring tool.
