← MySkydrol 2.0 · Working document
Three directions for raising the visual and functional level of MySkydrol 2.0 without leaving the existing palette. Each one is tied to a problem the team already named, and each is grounded in a pattern that works in shipping products.
The single most-cited complaint: the charts show nothing until you build a filter. The fix isn't a better filter — it's making the filter optional. Open on a grid of small multiples covering every hydraulic line, then let filtering refine rather than unlock.
Why this works here specifically: the four columns aren't arbitrary series — they're physical hydraulic lines on the aircraft. A maintenance engineer isn't asking "what's the trend," they're asking "is any line degrading." Four small charts answer that at a glance; one big chart with a filter makes them ask it four times.
Benchmarking is the feature customers value most, and today it lives apart from the sample report that would prompt the question. Put it on the result, and express it as a position in a distribution rather than two numbers side by side.
Better than 72% of A319s worldwide. Your position, not just your number.
Every benchmark gets a plain-language read directly beneath it. The chart shows the evidence; the sentence delivers the conclusion. This is the difference between a report a customer looks at and one they act on.
Fluid is holding better than 72% of A319s worldwide. Moisture trended down across three of four lines since the last sample.
Every moisture reading, particle count and acid number in this product sits in a column and gets compared vertically against a spec. Proportional figures make that harder for no reason. Tabular numerals are close to a free upgrade.
Nothing here leaves the existing product. The berry stays the single action color, the three condition states stay exactly as they are, and the hydraulic line colors stay literal. What changes is that colour stops appearing anywhere it isn't carrying meaning.

Every hex marked (?) is observed, not confirmed. These were sampled from the running 2.0 build and the Figma file. They are placeholders until Dev Mode access lands and the real values come out of the brand guidelines.
The one that matters most is Eastman-Berry — it's the primary action colour and it's what the landing page is built from. It's the first token to replace.
