The Rundown

An immersive story for the week or month that just closed.

The Insights stack is the door, not the story. This page is the deck. UI title is The Weekly Rundown or The Monthly Rundown. PeriodReviewContent.

This walk is a live August monthly deck (template copy, not the __DEV__ fixtures). Weekly and monthly compose different slides — types we did not see are named in the matrix below.


Open

On Home, the card sits in the insight stack: Benjamin has your monthly rundown, tap to watch. The action label is Watch now. A push or a row in Insights history opens the same story.

Swipe or × on Home dismisses the card. That is not complete — the deck stays, and history can reopen it.

Home insight card for the monthly rundown
Benjamin has your monthly rundown — Watch now.

Chrome

Progress segments across the top, close × on the right. Tap the right ~65% to advance; the left goes back. Hold anywhere to pause, reel-style — the timer freezes and the chrome fades out until you let go (transient state, not screenshotted). Benjamin hosts a line at the bottom of every slide.

Guess slides hold until you pick. Reaching the last slide completes the review and retires the Home card.

Segments, ×, and Benjamin — August 1–31.
