Passenger flow walk and count
Timed walks from kerbside to pier, with counts at security, immigration, and the retail pinch, written up as a map the operations room can pin to the wall.

Boards for people who already know the pier by smell
Content Workpoint is a small United Kingdom practice that commissions passenger-flow drawings and terminal operations dashboards for airports. We walk the kerb, the search area, the sterile side, and the reclaim hall, then hang boards the night shift can read without a briefing slide deck.
The programme we are asked for most
The terminal operations dashboard programme covers first-wave, inbound bank, and disruption notes on the same wall. It is five to eight weeks, with two three-day stays on the airfield.

Security queue visualisation
Lane-by-lane pictures of wait, bag-tray return, and the sterile-side spill, drawn so a supervisor can open or close a lane without guessing from a doorway.
Baggage reclaim and hall boards
Belt assignment, first-bag and last-bag marks, and hall crowding drawn for the arrivals duty desk — including the awkward remote-stand coach arrivals.
Disruption-day briefing boards
Boards for diversion days, fog, and industrial action: coach gates, holding passengers, and which piers still have catering water.
Seasonal peak boards
Christmas, half-term, and summer Saturday boards that show where trolleys snag, where families sit, and which retail pinch must be stewarded.
From a two-pier duty desk
We hung the first-wave board opposite the kettle, which sounds trivial until you realise the night team actually stopped clustering at the doorway. The stand list is still handwritten; Content Workpoint did not pretend they could replace that. I would have liked a third on-site day — two was tight when the fog rolled in on the Tuesday.
