Plan steps and logging how it went

What these cards are

Once you act on a decision and IQ drafts it into a real, step-by-step action plan, that plan does not just wait quietly in the Decisions workspace. Its next open step comes back to find you in the Feed, on the day it is actually due. That is a plan-action card: not a new recommendation, but a nudge on committed work already in motion. When a plan finishes, a plan-win card takes its place, celebrates it, and asks the one question a busy operator almost never volunteers on their own: did it actually pay off.

Both cards exist to close a gap. IQ, your AI Co-COO, can draft a plan and chase the paperwork behind it, but it cannot walk the job site, make the call, or know whether a rate negotiation actually landed. You decide what happened and IQ records it. That record is what turns a one-off decision into your own track record, and, once anonymized, into a data point the wider network can learn from. Verinode never sells that operator data to carriers, and every anonymized contribution comes back to you as a sharper read the next time a similar decision comes up.

Where to find them

Open Feed from the left sidebar, or go to iq.verinode.ai/feed. Plan-action and plan-win cards mix into the same vertical, one-at-a-time deck as everything else described in the Feed: decisions, industry content, weather alerts, agent messages. They show up under the All and Decisions filters; nothing extra to switch on.

A plan-action card only appears once a plan has actually started (has a start date IQ can measure steps against) and at least one of its open steps is due today, tomorrow, overdue, or due within the next six days. A plan with steps that are all further out than that simply does not surface a card yet, it is sitting quietly in the workspace waiting its turn. A plan-win card only appears once every step on the plan has reached a finished state (done, skipped, or no longer needed), the plan's execution is marked complete, and at least one step was genuinely done, not just skipped past. A plan where every step was skipped never generates a win card, there is nothing to celebrate.

Plan-action cards: your next step, surfaced

What you see. The top bar reads Verinode IQ with the IQ mark, and how long ago the card entered your feed. A rounded badge in the top right reads Action Plan. The card itself shows:

• A progress spine. A row of thin segments, one per step in the plan, filled in copper for every step already done. Beside it, a count: "2 of 5 done."
• An eyebrow. "Action Plan" alone, or "Action Plan · [plan name]" once the plan has a name, so you know which commitment this step belongs to.
• A due line, with a small clock icon: Overdue, Due today, Due tomorrow, Due [date], or, if none of those resolve, the fallback Due this week.
• The step itself as the card's headline, its description underneath if IQ or you wrote one.

If a plan has more than one step due soon, only the single most urgent one shows, the earliest due date wins. The rest of the plan, every other step, its full history, its owner assignments, lives in the plan's own workspace, not stacked into the feed.

1. 1Do it. Marks this card as acted on and sends you straight to that decision's workspace at /decisions/[id], where the step lives inside the full action plan panel. Tapping Do it does not mark the step done by itself, you still check it off in the workspace once the work is actually finished.
2. 2Not now. Snoozes this plan's card for 24 hours. The card disappears immediately, with no confirmation banner and no Undo, and comes back after a day if the step is still due.
3. 3Skip step. Opens an inline prompt, "Skip this step?", with two choices: Just this step marks that one step skipped and clears the card (if the plan has another step due soon, a fresh card for it can appear on your next visit), or Open the plan takes you to the full workspace instead, without skipping anything, so you can look before deciding.

Plan-win cards: a completed plan, closing the loop

What you see. No severity dot, no domain watermark, just a plain copper medallion icon centered on the card, the label Plan complete, the plan's name as the headline, and, underneath, "All [N] steps done."

This is the moment IQ hands the question back to you: the work is finished, but only you know whether it actually moved the number it was meant to move.

Did this pay off? The one-tap outcome read

Right above the buttons, a plan-win card carries the fast path: "Did this pay off?" with three buttons: Worked, Didn't, Too early. Tap one and it is logged immediately, no form, no dollar amount required. The card replaces the prompt with a plain "Thanks, noted." and clears from your feed.

Because the quick tap does not resolve the decision, a plan whose win card you have tapped can still surface again on a later visit if you have not separately closed it out in the workspace, that is IQ nudging you to finish the loop properly, not a bug in the count.

Add detail, Not now, Ignore

Below the quick tap sits a full-width Add detail button. Tapping it marks the card acted on (it briefly reads "Opening…") and sends you to /decisions/[id], the plan's decision workspace, where the Outcome section lets you pick a fuller directional read, log a realized dollar figure against the original estimate, add a one-line note, confirm a document IQ already read, or attach proof, everything covered in closing a decision and recording its outcome.

Underneath that, two smaller buttons: Not now snoozes the win card for 24 hours (item cleared immediately, no Undo), and Ignore dismisses it for good. Neither one touches the plan's status behind the scenes, they only control whether this celebratory card keeps showing up in your feed.

How this feeds the learning loop

Every confirmed directional read, whether it came from a one-tap Feed answer or the fuller close-out flow, writes to that decision's own evidence timeline. Two things draw on it after that:

• Your own track record. Over time, Verinode can show you which kinds of decisions you actually followed through on and how often they paid off, in your own book.
• The network's read on the same pattern. Once anonymized, a confirmed outcome adds to how confidently IQ can recommend the same kind of move to you next time, and, in aggregate, to peers facing the same decision. Verinode never shows or sells any individual operator's outcomes to another operator or to a carrier, only anonymized, aggregated patterns feed back into future recommendations.

The three-tap read exists specifically because the alternative, a full close-out form, is where almost nobody actually reports back. A tap that takes two seconds is what keeps that loop honest.

Empty states

There is no dedicated empty state just for plan cards. If no plan has a step due soon and no plan has just finished, none appear, your feed simply moves on to whatever decisions and content are next. Once you have worked through everything in the deck, you land on the same end-of-stack All caught up card the rest of the Feed shows, described in the Feed section: anatomy and how to move through it: "Verinode IQ is continuously analyzing your data and scanning industry sources. New decisions, insights, and updates will appear here as they surface." Check back soon, your next briefing is building.
