CL-10 / Low bandwidth / proposed

Useful interfaces on a thin connection

Which content is truly necessary when a connection is slow or unreliable?

01 / One week

Make the smallest useful proof.

Create a text-first notice page; simulate 400 kbps and 400 ms latency with cache disabled. Compare against a heavier baseline.

02 / Four weeks

Add offline fallback, resilient form-free navigation and a documented asset budget.

03 / Materials

Illustrative materials only. Equipment purchases, expenses and access need human review.

04 / Privacy + boundaries

Use synthetic content and local network simulation. No covert analytics or live user profiling.

05 / Success

Core text usable within five seconds in 9 of 10 controlled runs; no broken keyboard navigation

06 / Deliverable + review

Working prototype, trace captures and byte-budget report

Human review: Mentor validates measurement setup. Mike approves deployment and any analytics; agents may run synthetic checks only.

Pay, hours, eligibility, supervisor, location, agreements and legal review must be resolved before recruitment or work begins. Budgets are illustrative materials estimates in USD, exclude labor, tax and shipping, and are not spending authorization.
Use synthetic or licensed public fixtures first. A human supervisor must approve any participant involvement, consent, collection and data lifecycle.
Agents may draft, code, propose tests and document evidence. They cannot supervise interns, approve their own work or infer authority to send messages, buy materials or publish.
PointCast publication is the programme’s intended context. Physical venues, partners and installations need separate confirmation; no external venue partnership is claimed.
Credit every contributor with permission. Publish measured results and limitations only after human review; preserve a record of corrections.
