## Dashboard widgets
- **Upload throughput** – photos/minute, highlighted when backlog >25.
- **Device health** – top devices experiencing errors (permission denied, storage full).
- **Moderation queue** – flagged photos awaiting approval; assign to moderators.
- **Announcements** – compose push/banner messages; supports locale-specific text.

## Typical workflow
1. Pin the Live Ops page on a tablet. Set auto-refresh to 15 seconds.
2. Watch the throughput graph as doors open; expect spike to 40+/min right after ceremonies.
3. If backlog grows, broadcast a banner reminding guests to stay online or reduce burst uploads.
4. Moderate flagged items quickly; policies require action within 10 minutes.
5. Use the *Achievement trigger* widget to award badges manually if automation criteria fail.

## Escalation matrix
| Issue | First action | Escalate to |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Upload queue stuck | Run health check → re-sync event | Reliability on-call |
| Offensive content | Hide photo → download evidence → notify organizer | Legal duty officer |
| Billing lock | Check Paddle dashboard → confirm payment status | Finance |
