Opening a franchisee's equipment detail

What this overlay is

Every tile on the Equipment page, in the Maintenance & Calibration Risk row, the Refresh Cycle row, or the Equipment by Franchisee row, opens the same thing when you click it: a centered overlay scoped to that one franchisee's equipment posture. It is where the network-wide numbers on the Equipment home turn into a single franchisee's own picture: how much equipment it runs, how old and diverse that equipment is, how much of it is deployed, and whether maintenance or calibration is falling behind, each read against the rest of the network.

Nothing here is a franchisee's private ledger. Every figure is already a rollup from that franchisee's own nightly equipment summary, counts, sums, and ages, never individual unit records, serial numbers, or service logs. Verinode surfaces the pattern; it does not decide whether a franchisee needs a refresh-cycle conversation or a maintenance follow-up. That call is yours.

Where to find it

Open Assets from the HQ sidebar, then the Equipment pill, at hq.verinode.ai/equipment. Click any franchisee tile, in any of the three per-franchisee rows on that page. A modal opens on top of the page, sized wide, with no page navigation, closing it drops you back at the same scroll position on Equipment.

While the franchisee's detail is loading, the overlay opens immediately with the franchisee's name and the Equipment eyebrow already in place, and a plain Loading… line underneath while the rest fills in. If the load fails, it reads:

Couldn't load this franchisee's equipment data.

with a Close link beside it, rather than a broken screen.

The overview header

At the top of the overlay sits the same identity block every per-section franchisee slider uses (Facilities, Fleet, Equipment, Commercial, Reputation all share it, so the header always reads the same way no matter which section you drilled in from):

• Eyebrow: "Equipment," so the overlay always frames what the drill is about.
• Name: the franchisee's name, real or anonymized depending on your network's entity model (see below).
• Location: the franchisee's city and state, comma-joined, or "Location anonymized" when geo isn't shown for this network.
• Status: Seeded, Invited, or Active, the franchisee's roster status in your network directory.
• In-service pill: reads "N in service", or "N in service / M total" when some of the franchisee's equipment isn't currently in service. The pill is colored green (Expand tone) when at least one piece is in service, or copper (neutral) when the franchisee has no in-service equipment on file yet.

Each segment is separated by a middle dot, so the full line reads something like "Springfield, OH · Active · 18 in service / 22 total."

The peer-scope switcher

Directly under the header, three pills let you choose what this franchisee's numbers are compared against:

• Group, the rest of your own network. Labeled "Group (N)" once your network has enough active peers behind it. Below the floor, the pill is disabled with the tooltip "Need 3+ active peers in the network for within-network comparisons."
• Regional, same-state peers across networks. Labeled "Regional (N)" once that cohort clears the floor, otherwise a plain "Regional" pill, disabled with the tooltip "Need 3+ peers in the same state. Smaller state cohorts hidden by K-anonymity floor."
• National, cross-network with no state filter. Labeled "National (N)" once available, otherwise a plain "National" pill, disabled with the tooltip "Cohort too small for cross-network comparison."

Group is the default selection every time you open the overlay. The cohort size shown on the Group pill, and the confidence read in the scope footer (below), comes from the "pieces of equipment" metric specifically, since that's the metric every active peer reports. In practice this is the same active-peer count behind every tile in the panel, though a metric like total purchase value can occasionally run one or two peers thinner if a peer hasn't entered a purchase price for its equipment.

Capacity

The first section, four tiles laid out two by two:

• Pieces of equipment. The franchisee's total equipment count on file. More is favorable (greater capacity).
• Distinct equipment classes. How many different equipment classes the franchisee runs, a rough proxy for how many loss types (water, fire, mold, contents) it can service. More is favorable.
• Total purchase value. The sum of recorded purchase prices across the franchisee's equipment, formatted compactly ($1.4M, $82k, $340). This is a floor, not a true replacement-cost figure, since it only counts equipment where a purchase price was actually entered. More is favorable.
• Avg age. The franchisee's average equipment age in years, one decimal place (e.g. "3.4y"). Less is favorable, older equipment carries more refresh and reliability risk.

Utilization & age mix

The second section, two tiles:

• In service. The percentage of the franchisee's equipment currently deployed rather than sitting in storage or marked retired. More is favorable.
• Over 5 years old. The percentage of the franchisee's active fleet past the five-year refresh threshold. Less is favorable.

Maintenance & calibration watch

The third section, four small counters across the row:

• Maintenance overdue. Count of equipment past its maintenance due date. Colored red (Analyse tone) once above zero, green (Expand tone) at zero.
• Maintenance due <90d. Count of equipment with maintenance coming due inside the next 90 days. Colored yellow (Maintain tone) once above zero, green at zero.
• Calibration overdue. Count of equipment past its calibration due date. Same red/green tone rule as maintenance overdue.
• Calibration due <90d. Count of equipment with calibration coming due inside 90 days. Same yellow/green tone rule as maintenance due.

Underneath the four counters, a single status line reads the overall posture:

• "Active gaps, overdue maintenance / calibration needs owner-side action" (red), when either overdue counter is above zero.
• "Heads-up window, items coming due in the next 90 days" (yellow), when nothing is overdue but something is approaching inside 90 days.
• "Maintenance posture clean" (green), when neither applies.

Reading a peer-metric tile

Every Capacity and Utilization tile follows the same anatomy: the franchisee's own value first, then the peer read for whichever scope you have selected, then, where a network program has set a target, a compliance tag.

• Own value. Shown large, at the top of the tile, already formatted (a count, a dollar figure, a year figure, or a percentage).
• Peer median. Reads "Median [value]", and, when a percentile can be computed, "· p[N]" beside it, the franchisee's own percentile rank inside the selected peer scope.
• Delta vs. median. A colored line reading "On par with peers" (neutral) when the franchisee sits within a few percent of the peer median in either direction; otherwise "+N% vs median" or "N% vs median". The color follows the metric's own direction of good, green (Expand) when the franchisee is ahead in the favorable direction, yellow (Maintain) for a modest lag, red (Analyse) for a wide lag in the unfavorable direction (roughly a quarter off the median or more).
• When no peer read is available, the tile shows one of two plain labels instead of a median: "Cohort too small" (not enough peers report this metric at the selected scope) or "Pending benchmark seed" (this metric doesn't have Regional or National coverage yet at all, this is the state Total purchase value shows at both of those scopes regardless of network).
• Target compliance tag. When your network has an active program with a target set on that specific metric, a tag appears under the peer line: "✓ Meets target" (green) or "✗ Below target" (red), with the target value in parentheses, for example "(target 4)." Hovering the tag shows which program set it. No tag appears when no program currently targets that metric. See Programs for how targets get set.

The scope footer

Below the three sections, a single line explains the comparison you're currently reading:

• Under Group scope: either "Peer cohort too small, need 3+ active franchisees in the network" (below the floor), or "Within-network comparison · [confidence] · n=[N]", where confidence climbs from Low confidence to Directional to High confidence as more of your network's peers report the underlying metric.
• Under Regional scope: reads that Regional industry benchmarks are still pending and will seed as more equipment data flows into Verinode's cross-network intelligence layer.
• Under National scope: the same message, for the National comparison.

Same-entity vs. independent-operator networks

Whether the header shows a real name and a real location, or an anonymized one, depends on your network's entity model, the same setting that governs every other per-franchisee surface in HQ:

• Same entity (a single multi-location enterprise, or a PE-backed roll-up operating its own locations): the franchisee's real name, city, and state all appear.
• Independent operators (a franchise network of separately owned businesses, or an association): the name is replaced with a stable label like "Franchisee #A1B2," derived from the franchisee's internal ID, and city and state are both withheld, the header reads "Location anonymized" in their place. The same franchisee always gets the same label across visits, so you can track it over time, but the label never reveals which business it is.

This overlay only opens at all once your network clears the small-network floor for per-franchisee tiles, below that floor the Equipment page itself suppresses the per-franchisee rows and shows an aggregate-only banner instead, so there's nothing to click into. See Equipment: what HQ sees across the network for that guard in full.

How to read it in one pass

1. 1Check the header's in-service pill and status. A franchisee with a low in-service share against its total equipment count is worth a second look before you dig into the sections below.
2. 2Scan Capacity for how much equipment and how many classes this franchisee runs against the selected peer scope, and whether its total purchase value and average age look reasonable next to the median.
3. 3Check Utilization & age mix, a low in-service percentage or a high over-5-year share both point toward the same conversation, either deployment or refresh planning.
4. 4Read the Maintenance & calibration watch status line last. Red means there's an active compliance gap that needs owner-side follow-up now; yellow means it's coming; green means there's nothing to chase.
5. 5Switch the scope to Regional or National if you want a wider comparison, keeping in mind both currently read as pending for real networks until equipment benchmarks seed more broadly across the platform.

Best-practice example

Say you click into a franchisee from the Maintenance & Calibration Risk row. The header reads "Springfield, OH · Active · 14 in service / 18 total." Capacity shows 18 pieces of equipment against a Group median of 22 ("18% vs median," yellow), 4 distinct classes against a median of 6 ("On par with peers" once within a few percent, or yellow if meaningfully behind), and an average age of 4.1 years against a 3.0-year median (red, since older equipment is the unfavorable direction). Utilization & age mix shows 78% in service and 22% over five years old. Maintenance & calibration watch shows 2 maintenance overdue and 1 calibration due inside 90 days, so the status line reads red: "Active gaps, overdue maintenance / calibration needs owner-side action." Together, that's an older, moderately equipped franchisee with an active compliance gap, worth a direct follow-up call rather than waiting for the next regional check-in.
