An institutional language drawn from the dashboard's own NWCG status tags. Every mark is a clipped-corner tag that reads like a filed incident record, and it escalates by filling in: an outline tag becomes tinted, then solid, gaining its glyph as the situation is confirmed. The clipped corner is the signature that keeps the whole set in one family, on the map and in a legend alike.

Bucket A · Progressive
Icons that build across a workflow
One tag fills through every stage. The tag advances from outline to solid rather than swapping symbols, so an operator reads both the family and the step at a glance.
Phase 1 · Monitoring — Smoke Check Log
Automation opens an outline tag, a person confirms it, a threat level fills it. The tag goes outline, tinted, then solid as urgency rises. No-threat empties to a cleared tag, then drops off the map.
Auto-identified
Dashed outline tag. Overnight ping.
→
Human-reviewed
Solid outline, mark placed. Pending.
→
Potential threat
Tag tints orange, alert glyph.
→
Response recommended
Tag fills solid, pickup dispatched.
→
Cleared / no threat
Tag empties, then removed.
Phase 2 · Assignment
The glyph on the tag names the assignment type, and the tag fills as the property moves from pivot to survey to outcome. One survey state, then a green save tag or a red loss tag.
Pivot point (PIF)
Policy where an assignment begins.

Dedicated Service
Outline house = education. Solid = prepositioned.
→
Wildfire Response
Pickup unit assigned to the property.
→
Surveyed
One visited state. Details live in the report.

SaveLoss
Green save tag, or red loss tag with X.

Smoke Save

tinted tag + X = partial
Total Loss
solid deep-red tag + bold X
Bucket B · Static
Standalone map symbols
Policy tags stay compact and solid with a white keyline so they hold on green terrain, and buffers keep a systematic dashed ring with a clipped-tag center mark.
PIF — Safeco
Blue tag, white keyline. Own dataset.
PIF — Liberty Mutual
Purple tag, white keyline. Own dataset.
Without keyline
The current problem — dots vanish on green.

Bucket C · Industry standard
Preserve the mark, change the behavior
Satellite hotspots stay industry-standard, so Chloeta takes a clipped-tag detection mark that will not be mistaken for them. Flame markers keep their silhouette but encode significance through solidity, not size.

Dashboard and deliverable icons
Reports are literally filed tags, so the clipped-corner document ties the deliverables to the system. Three report icons that have none today are drawn here for the first time.

Outline versus fill and the glyph keep the stages distinct with no color at all.
Loss over a surveyed policy
The red X keeps a white keyline so it reads on top of the survey tag.
Response unit within its buffer
Solid pickup tag reads clearly inside its dashed 120-mi coverage ring.

Clustered PIF tags stay readable over concentric risk rings and a perimeter.
PIF zoom-level clustering
One fire, 180 overlapping policies. Zoom collapses them into brand-colored counts instead of a wall of dots.

Style sheet
Printed Tag · system rules
Construction
24 px grid, clipped top-right corner. Outline 1.75 px, 3 px corner radius. Fill goes outline, tinted, solid. Glyph white on solid, color on outline. Escalate by fill and color, never by size.
Overlay & stacking
Loss X tag sits on top of the survey tag. Policy tags carry a 2 px white keyline. Buffers render beneath points. Engine buffers beneath response units.

Recommended eliminations · for client confirmation
Five Dedicated-Service status icons (60-day access, QC, historical states) collapse into a single Surveyed tag. The unpleasant-interaction icon and redundant grey states drop off the map. Threat sizing stops scaling by size. Net: roughly a third fewer symbols on a busy fire, and no two icons that mean the same thing.
