The Challenge

Lineage was rolling out new warehouse algorithms that could feel opaque on the floor, especially for teams coming from earlier systems. The Data Team needed a clear way to explain what the tools were doing without jargon, without sounding condescending, and without implying people were replaceable. It also had to stay accurate, generalize beyond one facility, and give the team a story they could reuse in presentations to support adoption. It had to earn trust fast.

Build "trust" in "warehouse" algorithms "without" jargon "or" condescension

Our Methodology

Illuminate

Visited a Lineage facility to observe workflows and map the pallet journey

Craft

Coauthored and revised scripts and storyboards with subject matter experts for accuracy and tone

Engage

Produced animation, original art, voice, score, captions, and assets for teams

Foster

Structured chapters and visuals so teams could clip segments and reuse them

Sustain

Returned later to add an opening disclaimer that clarified intent and scope

The Solution

We translated Lineage’s algorithm logic into an animated explainer that clarified the “why” behind warehouse tasking. A facility tour grounded visuals, then we iterated with subject matter experts to keep the language plain and accurate. We wrote the script and storyboards, designed isometric art and characters, cast and directed actors, including Apollo, scored the piece, and delivered captions and subtitles. We supplied slide decks and assets for internal presentations and later added an opening disclaimer.

Key
Takeaways

When outcomes are hard to share publicly, the process has to carry the proof and make learning visible too.

  • Start with observation: a site visit helps you map the pallet life cycle and choose what to visualize, simplify, and omit.
  • Balance accuracy with accessibility: iterate with SMEs, translate logic into everyday words, and keep the tone non condescending.
  • Design for reuse: consistent characters, clear chapters, and captions let teams pause, clip, and replay sections without losing the thread.

Ship the presentation kit: the film plus decks and assets so internal teams can teach without you, and add context updates like disclaimers when needed.
