Cycle: outward spiral ribbon
MaxOne continuous ribbon spirals outward from the center, one full turn per round, deepening in tone with each round and ending in an arrowhead. The same stages recur on every turn: each stage owns a spoke, so its markers line up from the inner round to the outer one, with the stage's icon badge and title outside the spiral. Numbered markers mark where each round starts at the top, keyed to a ledger of round titles and descriptions beside the spiral; an optional center names the loop and an optional pill names where the rounds lead.

When to use it
Use for a loop of three to six stages that is run two to four times, each pass reaching further: product releases that repeat a build-and-learn loop at a growing scale, a curriculum that revisits the same skills at a deeper level, an account expansion that repeats the same sales motion, a research programme that reruns the same study design with larger samples. Not for a single loop with no successive rounds, a one-way process, stages that differ between rounds, or timelines with dates or durations; equal spacing shows order and recurrence, not time or size.

Architecture: request pathThree to eight hops of one request in order, such as a request through CDN, gateway, services, and database, an auth or checkout request trace, or a webhook delivery path, optionally with the protocol or measured time of each link.

Chart: isometric station platforms in stage columnsOne measured quantity moving through a chain of stages where every middle station passes on exactly what it receives: supply chain volumes from suppliers through plants to stores, data moving between systems in a pipeline, students moving from intake routes through programmes into destinations.
Chart: adjacent aggregate transfersFor an explicitly closed conserved cohort classified into two categories at each of three ordered stages, with all eight adjacent pair counts including known zeros: enquiries by origin, route and offer; students by entry track, course and outcome; patients by referral, pathway and setting; or orders by channel, warehouse and carrier.
Comparison: paired statesFor proposals explaining which specific change connects each current condition to its proposed counterpart: a business process redesign, a product onboarding fix, a policy or classroom routine change, a team operating model, or a personal workflow.
Cycle: causalFor a compact qualitative causal-loop view with exactly five variables and two three-link loops sharing one variable: a referral loop against crowding in a membership plan, workload against hiring in a team, adoption against support load in a product, or demand against price in a market.
