All Active Playbooks Row and Adoption Color Tones

What this row is

All Active Playbooks is the third and last row on the Playbook Scoreboard, and it is the only one of the three that shows everything. Where Top Performers cherry-picks your six best-adopting plans and Need Diagnosis flags only the plans in real trouble, All Active Playbooks is the full, unfiltered list: every decision plan currently in active status across your network, in one horizontally scrolling row, sorted so the plans with real adoption sit up front and the ones still waiting on data sink to the back.

This article covers that row in full, plus the color system behind it: the four-tone scale (adoptionTone) that paints each tile green, yellow, red, or copper depending on how its adoption is trending. For the rest of the Scoreboard, the hero band and the other two rows, see Playbook Scoreboard: the network-wide adoption view and Need Diagnosis Row: playbooks under 40% adoption.

Where to find it

Open Playbooks from the HQ sidebar, in the funnel group with Decisions and Action Plans, at hq.verinode.ai/playbooks. Scroll past the page header and the four-tile hero band (Active playbooks, Completed 90d, In draft, Distinct kinds). All Active Playbooks is the third and final row, sitting below Top Performers and Need Diagnosis (when that row is present).

There is no separate page or tab for this row and no filter bar. It is one section of the single continuous Playbook Scoreboard scroll.

What goes into the row: only status active

All Active Playbooks draws from exactly one pool: plans currently in active status. That is narrower than the other two rows on the page. Top Performers and Need Diagnosis both pull candidates from completed plans as well as active ones, because a plan that has already wrapped can still be worth recognizing as a top performer, or worth flagging as a low-adoption result on the record. All Active Playbooks does neither: once a plan moves to completed (or is paused or still in draft), it drops out of this row, even if it was your best-adopted plan of the quarter.

In practice this means All Active Playbooks answers a narrower, more operational question than the other two rows: not "what has this network ever produced," but "what is live and being worked right now."

The sort order: highest adoption first, no-data plans last

Tiles are sorted by adoption completion rate, descending, with one deliberate exception: a plan that has no adoption percentage yet is always placed after every plan that does have one, regardless of what that percentage is. Two undecorated plans keep their original relative order next to each other rather than being re-sorted against one another.

The practical effect is that a plan pushed five minutes ago, with nothing yet for the nightly cron to measure, never jumps ahead of a plan that has been running for weeks and already has a real number attached. Sorting straight by percentage with nulls treated as zero (or worse, treated as high) would either bury a brand-new plan at the very back behind every low performer, or let it masquerade at the front ahead of plans with actual track records. Sinking undecorated plans to the very end, after every measured plan, keeps the front of the row meaningful: whatever tile you see first always has real adoption behind it.

The cap: 18 tiles, no "view all"

The row renders at most 18 tiles. If your network has more than 18 plans in active status, the extra plans are still fully active, still counted in the hero band's "Active playbooks" tile, and still fully manageable from Decisions or from Broadcast's Initiatives tab. They simply do not get a tile in this particular row. There is no "view all" link, load-more control, or pagination on this row today.

Because the row is sorted highest-adoption-first with no-data plans sinking to the bottom, the 18 tiles you do see are the plans it makes the most sense to look at first: your strongest performers followed by your mid-tier plans, with anything still awaiting its first reading pushed toward (or past) the visible cutoff. If your active portfolio regularly exceeds 18 plans, the Initiatives tab in Broadcast remains the complete, ranking-free record of everything you have pushed, and it is worth checking there for any plan that falls outside what this row surfaces.

Reading a tile

Every tile in this row is a standard-width tile (narrower than the wider tiles used in Top Performers and Need Diagnosis), and it packs the same four pieces of information as the rest of the Scoreboard, in a more compact form:

• Label (top): the adoption percentage, read as "N% adopted." A plan the nightly cron has not yet touched reads "Awaiting cron" here instead of a number.
• Headline: the plan's title, exactly as it was written when authored.
• Sub-line: the plan's kind, followed by a compact fraction of current affected memberships over current total memberships, for example "Playbook · 8/12." This is the same underlying affected-over-total count shown as "8 of 12 franchisees" on the wider tiles elsewhere on the page, just written more tersely to fit the smaller tile.
• Meta line (bottom): "live since [month day]" if the plan has an activation date, or left blank if it does not. Unlike Top Performers and Need Diagnosis, this row's meta line never repeats the median-days-to-acknowledge figure or a "review friction" note; it is purely a live-since timestamp or nothing.

Clicking any tile takes you to that plan's full detail on the Decisions Inbox (/franchise/decisions?plan=<plan-id>), where the complete per-membership adoption roster lives: who has acknowledged, started, declined, or completed the plan, and any Intelligence Unit sponsorship attached to the push. All Active Playbooks itself has no drawer, modal, or per-membership breakdown of its own; it is a ranked entry point into that detail, not a second copy of it.

Adoption color tones: the four-band scale

This is the one row on the Scoreboard where tile color is not fixed. Top Performers is always Expand green (every plan in it already qualifies as a top performer, so the color adds no further information) and Need Diagnosis is always Analyse red at high intensity (every plan in it has already cleared the under-40% bar). All Active Playbooks is different: because it shows every active plan regardless of how it is performing, each tile's color is calculated individually from that plan's own adoption percentage, using a four-band scale:

| Adoption completion rate | Tone | Color | |---|---|---| | 75% or higher | Expand | Deere Green | | 40% up to (but under) 75% | Maintain | Hard Hat Yellow | | Under 40% | Analyse | Ember Red | | No adoption percentage yet ("Awaiting cron") | Neutral | Copper |

Three of these four tones borrow the same signal colors used for signal severity elsewhere on the platform (Expand green, Maintain yellow, Analyse red), but here they are repurposed specifically as an adoption gauge, not as a recommendation about what action to take. A red tile in this row does not mean "act on this now" the way an Analyse signal does elsewhere; it means "this plan's adoption is currently under 40%," full stop. Reading the tile's own headline, fraction, and live-since date still matters, the color is a fast visual sort, not the whole story.

The fourth tone, neutral copper, is the odd one out by design. A plan the cron has not yet decorated is not low-performing, it is unmeasured, so it deliberately does not borrow the Analyse red used for genuinely low adoption. Copper is the platform's brand-neutral color rather than a signal color, which is exactly the point: an undecorated plan gets a tone that says "no reading yet," not one that implies a verdict either way.

Because the row is sorted with undecorated plans pushed to the bottom, in practice you will typically see the color run green, then yellow, then red, then copper, left to right, as you scroll the row, mirroring the sort order above.

Empty state

If your network has no plans currently in active status, at all, the row is replaced by a plain text line under the heading "All active playbooks":

No active playbooks. Author one in Broadcast or activate a draft.

"Broadcast" is a live link straight to /franchise/broadcast. This is the only way a plan enters this row in the first place: All Active Playbooks has no compose button or "new playbook" action of its own, it is a read-only ranking. A plan is authored (and, separately, activated and pushed to memberships) from the Initiatives tab inside Broadcast; once it moves to active status, it appears in this row on the next page load, initially reading "Awaiting cron" until the nightly job gives it its first real percentage.

If you have drafts sitting unactivated, "activate a draft" points at the same place: open the plan you already wrote in Broadcast's Initiatives tab and push it, rather than authoring a new one from scratch.

How to use this row

1. 1Scan left to right. Because the row sorts by adoption descending with unmeasured plans pushed to the end, the color pattern (green, then yellow, then red, then copper) is a quick read on your whole active portfolio without opening anything.
2. 2Note any plan reading "Awaiting cron." That is expected for anything activated in roughly the last day and is not a signal of poor performance, it is only a signal of no data yet.
3. 3If you spot more red tiles here than appear in Need Diagnosis, remember that row caps at six: a seventh or eighth low-adopting plan will still show up (in red) here even after it drops off the shorter list.
4. 4Click a tile whose kind, live-since date, or fraction looks off to reach the full per-membership breakdown on Decisions, and follow up with the slow-moving memberships directly.
5. 5If your active count regularly exceeds 18, check the Initiatives tab in Broadcast for the complete list, this row is a ranked front page, not the full record.

The privacy boundary

Every figure on this row (the adoption percentage, the affected-over-total fraction, the live-since date) is a network-wide rollup. HQ does not see any individual membership's private business data (their jobs, their financials, their clients) here or on the plan detail this row links into. What you see when you click through is where each membership stands in that one plan's own adoption lifecycle (pushed, acknowledged, in progress, declined, or completed), not the underlying business results behind that status. On an independent-operator network, membership names in that detail view are shown anonymized; on a same-entity network, real location names show through. Either way, this row measures whether your network is acting on what you have shipped, never what any single membership's business looks like.
