Decisions on mobile

Overview

Decisions is where every pattern IQ has found in your data waits for a call from you: a slow-paying carrier, a vendor that's drifted off market rate, a certification about to lapse. On the web, the Decisions section is a workspace you scroll through. On mobile it is two things layered on top of each other: a two-column tile grid you scroll for an overview, and a full-screen swipe deck you drop into to actually read a decision and act on it, park it, or ignore it. Nothing is calculated differently on mobile. It's the same signals, the same dollar figures, the same peer paths, laid out for a thumb. For what a decision is and where the numbers come from, read the Decisions section overview.

Where to find it

Open Decisions from the mobile tab bar. The route is /m/decisions. The top bar shows the page title "Decisions"; there's no repeated heading in the body.

Two links sit at the top right of the grid:

• Workload →, your decisions grouped into work buckets (/m/decisions/workload).
• Triage Log →, the auto-archived list of decisions that expired or were superseded without you touching them (/m/decisions/triage-log).

Next to those, a Run analysis button opens the Business Analyst scan picker: choose which sections to scan (Jobs, Margin & Cash, Vendors, Materials, Team, Equipment, Clients, Compliance, Safety, Certifications, Reputation, Recruiting), add an optional free-text focus note, and start a scan. A scan costs Intelligence Units to run. Whatever it finds lands back in this same grid, tagged From a scan. See running a Business Analyst scan for the full walkthrough.

The status pills

Below the header row, a horizontal strip of pills filters the grid by lifecycle status:

• All, every decision regardless of status.
• Open, decisions still waiting on you (this is the default view when you land on the page).
• Acted, decisions you've acted on.
• Saved, decisions you parked for later.
• Ignored, decisions you dismissed.
• Resolved, decisions that closed out on their own or through a completed action.

Each pill shows a count next to its label, and a pill only appears at all once it has at least one decision behind it (an operator with nothing ignored yet never sees an "Ignored" pill). A From a scan toggle sits at the end of the strip whenever at least one decision came from a Business Analyst run; tapping it narrows the grid to just those, with its own count.

If you arrived here by swiping right on a bundle card in the mobile feed, a From feed banner appears above the pills naming the entity, decision type, or category the feed bundle was about. The grid opens already narrowed to that filter, with a Clear ✕ button to drop it and see everything.

The two-column tile grid

The body of the page is a two-column grid of tiles, one per decision. Each tile is a compressed version of the full card you get in the deck: a colored gradient background, a small watermark icon for the domain (Margin, Vendors, Equipment, and so on), a status dot and domain label in the top left, and at the bottom, the dollar figure and headline.

What a tile shows:

• Domain label, top left, next to a small glowing dot: which part of your business the decision belongs to (Margin, Vendors, Clients, Compliance, and so on).
• From a scan, a small tag under the domain label, only on decisions the Business Analyst surfaced rather than the continuous detectors.
• Entity logo or Acted stamp, top right: a small logo when the decision is tied to a vendor, client, carrier, or TPA you can recognize; a rotated "Acted" or "Done" stamp instead, once you've acted on or resolved the decision.
• The dollar figure, bottom, in large type, labeled "at stake" for anything still open or "captured" once you've acted. Figures round to the nearest thousand or million ($908, $12K, $1.4M).
• The headline, underneath the dollar figure: the plain-language title of the decision.
• The consequence line, when there's no dollar figure to lead with (an insurance gap, a lapsing certification): a short sentence describing what happens if nothing changes, instead of a number.

Tiles are color-coded by how urgent they are. A decision reads as urgent (an ember-red background) when its severity is critical or its estimated impact is $100,000 or more; everything else pending reads as a warm yellow "Pending" tile. Acted decisions turn green with the Acted stamp; resolved ones turn a slightly different green with a Done stamp; parked decisions turn teal; ignored ones turn gray.

Decide this week / Coming up / Handled

When you're on the All or Open pill (and you haven't narrowed the grid with a feed filter or the From-a-scan toggle), the grid organizes itself into up to three lanes instead of one flat list:

• Decide this week, captioned "What needs a call from you now." These are decisions with a near deadline, critical severity, or (when your account has decision pacing turned on) decisions IQ has actively released into your working set for the week.
• Coming up, captioned "Holding until you have room. Nothing time-sensitive here." Lower-urgency decisions still queued or waiting.
• Handled, captioned "Decisions you've already acted on." Only appears on the All pill, since Open by definition excludes handled decisions.

Each lane shows its label and a count, with a hairline rule above it separating it from the lane before. A decision in Decide this week or Coming up carries a small chip in its tile explaining why it's placed there, for example "Due Fri" or "Overdue" for a deadline, or a plain waiting label when there's no immediate pressure. Handled tiles carry no chip.

If you switch to a specific status pill (Acted, Saved, Ignored, Resolved), or you're viewing a From-feed or From-a-scan narrowing, the lanes drop away and you see a flat grid instead: you already asked for one slice, so IQ doesn't re-sort it into lanes on top.

Opening a decision: the swipe deck

Tap any tile and the deck opens: a full-screen overlay with one large card centered on screen, the edges of the decisions before and after it just visible above and below through the translucent chrome. Scroll up or down to move to the next or previous decision without leaving the deck. Tap the ✕ in the top right, tap outside the card, or press Escape (on a hardware keyboard) to close it and return to the grid.

You can also land directly in the deck at a specific decision by opening a link that includes ?focus=<id> in the URL, for example from a notification or from a card in the feed. The deck opens with that decision centered and the rest of your recent decisions scrollable around it.

What a card in the deck shows, top to bottom:

• Domain pill and time, top of the card: the domain (in a colored pill matching the card's accent) and how long ago the decision was first detected ("just now," "3h ago," "5d ago," "2w ago").
• Entity name, when the decision is tied to one, just above the impact figure.
• "Loss if no action" and the dollar figure, in large type, when there's a dollar value. Underneath it, a small confidence tag reads either Calculated or Estimated, sometimes followed by a short phrase naming the kind of basis (for example a peer-cohort or industry baseline), and a one-line sentence explaining where the number came from.
• When there's no dollar figure, a risk-kind and urgency chip instead (for example "Compliance risk · Act soon"), followed by the plain-language consequence sentence.
• The headline, the decision's title.
• A body paragraph, when there's supporting detail, truncated to roughly the first 240 characters.
• "IQ recommends", a bordered block with IQ's suggested next step in plain language, when a recommendation has been written for this decision.
• What peers did, near the bottom of the card, when a peer decision path is available for this kind of signal: how many similar operators faced this in the last 90 days, what share of them acted, and, when there's an outcome on record, what share saw improvement. This block quietly disappears when Verinode doesn't yet have peer coverage for this specific signal. Read the peer decision path for how this comparison works.

The three actions, at the bottom of every card:

• Ignore, dismisses the decision. It disappears from the deck and moves to the Ignored pill on the grid, and to the Triage Log.
• Not now, parks the decision for later. IQ schedules it to resurface on its own after a period that lengthens each time you park the same decision again, and it also comes back sooner if something related changes (a new signal on the same vendor, a renewal date approaching). It moves to the Saved pill.
• Act, the wide button on the right. Tapping it flips the card over.

After you tap Act

The card flips (a genuine 3D flip animation) to reveal a confirmation face: a green checkmark, "Acting on this," the recommendation text again if there is one, and a button labeled Open workspace. Tapping it takes you to that decision's full execution workspace at /m/decisions/[id]/workspace, where the structured plan, evidence, and outcome tracking live. A small note under the button reminds you that you can scroll up for the next decision instead, if you're working through several in a row. For what happens inside the workspace after you open it, read the decision workspace.

Acting on a decision here is the same action recorded whether you take it from mobile or from the web slider; it's tracked so IQ knows the decision moved from "surfaced" to "acted," which is also what feeds the peer decision path other operators see later.

Empty states

• Grid, no decisions matching the current filter: "No decisions in this filter. As your agent finds patterns, they appear here." This is the everyday empty state, not an error. It shows whenever a status pill, the From-feed filter, or the From-a-scan toggle narrows the grid down to nothing, as well as for a brand-new account with no decisions detected yet.
• Deck, nothing left to show: "You're caught up." with a Back to gallery link underneath. This appears once you've acted on, parked, or ignored every decision that was in the deck, so there's nothing left to scroll to.

Both are read literally: an empty grid or deck means there is genuinely nothing there right now, not that something is broken. New decisions appear as patterns are detected in the data flowing in from your inbox and connected tools, or the next time you run a Business Analyst scan.

What's mobile-only or different from the web

• The two-column tile grid replaces the web's wide decision-log table. Both read the same underlying rows; the mobile grid trades table columns for a compact card each.
• The swipe deck replaces the web slider. Both show the same card content and the same three actions; the deck is full-screen and scroll-driven instead of a side panel.
• Everything you act on, park, or ignore here is the same record the web page shows. There's no separate mobile decision log: acting on mobile updates the same decision the web workspace and the Triage Log read from.

Data sources

Everything in Decisions is built from your own data plus anonymized peer patterns. Verinode is an independent data trust: your operator data is never sold to carriers, and IQ never decides for you. It surfaces what it finds, recommends a next step, and leaves the call to you.
