Illustrative Circle examples
Four Circles that are nothing like each other, each followed from what was scattered to what it became. All four are made up, and every one of them says so on its own page.
Every Circle below is a fictional story written to demonstrate how a Circle is built. The people, names, places and pictures were created for this site. Nobody in them is a customer and none of the pictures shows a real person. Real customer studies will be published separately and labelled distinctly. One of the four is marked a concept example, which means it also describes a workflow the product does not fully support yet, and that page names the gaps.
Illustrative example
Four friends, six festivals and one trip that was not a festival. Nothing damaged, nobody lost, and not one of the paid creation tools used. A record being made while it is still happening.
Concept example
A family Circle about a woman of eighty-seven, used in the room with her, with one carer invited to help. Labelled a concept because parts of the workflow it describes are not built yet, and it names which parts.
Illustrative example
Fifty years of an amateur football club, kept by the people who played for it. The oldest member is eighty-one, the youngest is fifteen, and the youngest is the reason it matters.
Illustrative example
One wedding, followed the whole way through. The deepest of the four and the only one that uses everything: restoration, reframing, Likeness and a 360 of the venue.
There are none yet, and we would rather say so than fill this page with stories we made up and did not label. We are documenting the first Circles now, with the permission of everyone in them. When one is published it will appear here with its participants named, and it will not look like the four above.
Every photo, quote, voice excerpt and name in a published study is there because the person it belongs to agreed to it, specifically.
No composite families, no representative quotes, no illustrative numbers presented as findings. If we have not documented it, it is not on the page.
Nobody reads their own case study for the first time on the internet. Everyone involved reviews it before publication, and can withdraw.
A study describes what a Circle built. It does not open the Circle.
