Reading guide. Top panel = total daily Claude activity across every project. Below = one panel per project, each with its own y-axis to surface shape rather than absolute magnitude (home/ alone is 40× the next biggest). Peak-day value is labeled in lavender at the right of each panel; lifetime totals (messages, sessions, date range) sit above each panel name. Zero baseline preserved on every panel. No gridlines, no chartjunk — every pixel of ink is data or anchor.
