The whole square is a live spreadsheet: formula bar on top, sheet tabs below, gridlines everywhere. The selection rectangle is the camera, the formula bar is the subtitle track, and Acme Pulse is a second, dashed teal selection that quietly scans every row while you work.
The ink selection snaps onto the merged headline range (expo.inOut, 0.35 s) while the formula bar types COUNTA(…); on the bar-4 downbeat the TOTAL cell flips to a coral 38 and the tab strip overflows to “+33 tabs”.
Acme PulsePulseCheckoutSignupsLatencyOn the drop the camera pulls out to a fine 44 px grid and teal cell-pixels fire left→right, drawing the Acme pulse line one column per 1/16 note (random-seeded 0.6 s); the coral dot cell lands on the downbeat, then the merged range C11:R15 fills with the “Acme Pulse” lockup.

=PULSE.FLAG(…)).Why: every team already lives in sheets, so the stage reads instantly, and a second dashed selection is the most literal possible picture of “an agent working in the background next to you”. Risk: gridlines become noise at feed size, so frame 6–8 columns and keep the headline in a merged range.
Adapt to your product: put your own metrics or records in the rows and your product’s function name in the formula bar (=YOURAPP.CHECK()); the agent selection becomes whatever your product does automatically.
