What worries me is that in many industries (health & education particularly) there doesn't seem to be any actual limit to admin demand. Like; admin demands increase until the system barely functions and compliance is just barely

That's neat. Tho if you do this then clients need a distinct client id per redirect uri domain, mostly this is non consequential and a good thing but I think it has some ux implications like seeing multiple consent screens vs just 1 if

It's often a small pool of "suspects" though. Like "same group/person it was the last 3 times". I think most camera operators make peace with the idea that randos / one offs probably can't be identifi

If you can't do checklists though, you can't do anything else. All activities have lists and recurring calendar entries at their heart. You have to regularly show up and do the things . I agree that deeper / better approac
