Every Claude artifact kind of looks the same now. They have the same few boxes in a row with numbers in bold. A 2x2 grid, maybe a bar/line chart. It reminds me of those Excel 97 dashboards (will probably age just as well).

Whatever happened to taking pride in the craft of your work? Don't get me wrong, I don't expect folks to be framing their cash flow models on the fridge. But I used to know consultants and i-bankers who took pride in making sure the font on their slides looked right.

A few weeks ago I built a revenue cycle visualization dashboard - an idea I've had in my head for years. I spent a couple weeks working on something in this space that didn't look like a compliance document.Revenue cycle has dozens of handoffs, and each one is a place where revenue leaks or stalls. Most dashboards show you the headline number and call it a day. Mine drills into the chain itself - where the pressure is actually building, and what the downstream impact looks like. I finally took the time to make it the way I'd like (albeit not for any clients this time).

I shared it in a few small circles and had some good convos with healthcare leaders, founders, even a PE operator. At first, I thought I might stand it up as a standalone product I could sell. But honestly, that doesn't interest me (that, and no one buys a single Excel workbook).

I like taking the time to craft something that surfaces insight, or that helps people take action. It's better served as a tool that demonstrates how I think than as a thing to sell.
