    • what will we want to keep track of re stories, players & communities?

    • internal tracked assets - all the stats we will use internally

      • will there be data we will want to hide from our members?

        • i'd like to think we can be 100% transparent

      • tbd

      • creation assets - facts about your story creations

        • tbd

    • list of all nav possibilities to possibly consider tracking

      • world nav

        • all the ways players nav the world of stories

        • understanding there are many paths and tools to help the user explore the world of stories:

          • tools:

            • keyword search tool

              • title only

              • plus chapter titles

              • plus subchapter titles

            • tbd

        • to story

          • from:

          • nav/explore screen

            • search bar

        • to community

          • from:

            • nav/explore screen

            • search bar

        • to creator/member

          • from:

            • nav/explore screen

            • search bar

      • story nav

        • explore mode

          • this is all the nav that happens once a player is within a particular story

          • answering the question of how the player creates the custom explore experience?

          • what strategies are used to nav all that is within a single story?

            • e.g. chrono vs. popularity vs. content with comments or likes

        • create mode

          • can we just timestamp all edit story activity

          • and then back out the nav steps from the timestamps?

          • or do we also want to capture the creator exploring their own work?
