Connection layer

Booth attention becomes a follow-up map.

A saved work links the visitor's question, artist world, gallery note, route, and consent boundary so the gallery can act without exposing private memory.

The white space

"Artlogic shows you the named inquiry. Arternal shows you the email open. ArtBinder shows you the invoice. None of them show you which work moved a stranger."

Existing stack at most galleries: Artlogic · Arternal · ArtBinder · GalleryManager. Each of those tools sees the named inquiry, the email open, the invoice. None of them see which work moved a stranger.

Artist interest owner queue

Requests from artist worlds become triage, not inbox fog.

0 receipt-backed

This queue reads `artist_world_interest` intent receipts from the artist pages. It keeps private story saves anonymous, and only exposes contact when a visitor explicitly consents to gallery follow-up.

No live owner-queue receipts yet

Once visitors use the artist-world actions, matching gallery-note and studio/private-viewing requests appear here. The seeded queue below remains the demo fallback for anonymous booth resonance.

Visual archive

Gallery follow-up should feel like a packet of recoverable moments, not another CRM table.
