The ideaTwo channels, one shared spine. Laying them side by side shows where requests converge, loop back, and need a person.

About this artifact

Two channel flows for a VA helpdesk portal, mapped against the same five-stage spine: Arrive, Assess, Act, Interact, Resolve. Laying each channel on a shared structure shows where paths converge, where an unresolved request loops back, and where a person needs to step in.

Open design questions live right on the flow, so they get answered instead of forgotten.
