Readiness is not just cosmetic. It should reflect the core dependencies required for the schedule engine and weekly editing screens to make sense. If members exist but are not assigned into groups, the overview should treat that as incomplete because the group schedule pages depend on that ownership layer.

A healthy workspace usually means active shifts are present, groups exist, members belong to those groups, roles are defined with sensible active days, and requirements exist for the relevant shifts. When one of those pieces is missing, the overview should guide you toward that specific page instead of showing a vague generic message.

Use Overview as your pre-flight check before opening the week you need to edit. This is especially helpful when several people administer the same organization and changes may have happened in members, absences, roles, or requirements since you last planned a week.

If the overview looks healthy but the week still feels thin, your next stop is usually Absences or Edit Requirements. If the overview looks incomplete, fix the data structure first before trying to force assignments into the schedule grid.

Overview should feel like a planning dashboard, not a second version of every other page. Keep it focused on readiness, quick actions, recent context, exports, and high-value summary cards. Detailed editing belongs in the workspace sections themselves.
