The ranked-list catalog that started it all.
Before SPM became a consulting practice, it was a ranked-list browser: Top-100 priorities for Successful Project Managers in 2025, plus a Top-100 of agile keywords. Originally a Vite single-page app; this is a frozen Next.js port — same content, no edit gates, no auth.

What we learned.
Four things that came out of a year of daily list-making and shipped as features, tools, or hard-won constraints.
Lists compound
810 daily lists later, the hardest constraint was novelty — never repeating a topic. That constraint forced the cross-reference logic that became the LAD workflow.
Ranking forces opinions
Anyone can make a list. Ranking it forces you to have an opinion. The ranking step is where the value is — and where AI helps most.
Single-page apps don't scale
The v1 Vite SPA was fast to ship and painful to maintain. The frozen Next.js port took 2 POMs and is lower-maintenance. That lesson shipped as the appai scaffold.
Context pages ate the list
The PAD workflow grew out of the list-a-day habit. Daily context turned out to be more valuable than daily rankings — PAD replaced the manual page, and the list became one input of five.
