Product problem

A large story world needs more than a marketing homepage.

Modus Operandi spans stories, organizations, characters, vehicles, classified records, transmissions, visual assets, lore, and commercial extensions. The challenge was to give that material a structure that could grow without turning the site into a long list of disconnected pages.

The solution was to make the fictional institution itself the interface: the World Allied Consortium Archive. Content is organized as records with types, metadata, status, and clearance, creating a system that can expand as the IP expands.

System design

  • Archive-based information architecture across stories, personnel, world, media, mission, and store
  • Green / Amber / Red clearance states to control progressive content release
  • Restricted states for unfinished material instead of public placeholders
  • Reusable institutional visual language across WAC, GESS, Horsemen, ALOMIN, and Pack assets
  • Static front-end deployment optimized for rapid iteration through Cloudflare Workers
Content Architecture

One system connects the universe to the public experience.

The platform starts with the content model, not the page layout. Stories, people, vehicles, locations, media, and institutional records move through the same archive structure before they reach a public surface.

01 · Source Content Stories · Personnel · Vehicles · Locations · Media The expanding body of Modus Operandi IP.
02 · Archive Model Record type · Metadata · Relationships · Status A reusable structure instead of one-off page design.
03 · Clearance Green · Amber · Red Controls what is public, partial, or restricted.
04 · Public Surfaces Archive · Personnel · World · Watch · Mission Different views of the same underlying system.
Product Surfaces

A live archive designed to make a large universe navigable.

Each surface answers a different user need while preserving the same institutional language, navigation model, metadata, and clearance logic.

01

Orient the visitor.

The homepage establishes the WAC Archive, current world state, institutional identity, and the primary paths into the universe without requiring prior knowledge.

02

Make the universe browsable.

The Archive turns a growing body of content into recognizable record types so users can move between incidents, documents, personnel, locations, vehicles, and factions without losing context.

03

Turn character lore into structured information.

Personnel profiles use the same archive system to present identity, affiliation, role, rank, and release status. Character content becomes a reusable product pattern instead of a standalone biography page.

04

Connect the fictional platform to the real organization.

The Mission surface carries both the in-world WAC language and the real-world publishing context for MO IP Holdings LLC, giving the platform a clean boundary between narrative experience and ownership.

Publishing Model

Clearance states support staged release.

Green, Amber, and Red communicate what is available now, what is intentionally partial, and what remains restricted. That lets MO IP Holdings expand the archive incrementally without exposing unfinished material or making the public experience feel incomplete.

Green

Cleared

Complete public records that can be explored immediately.

Amber

Controlled

Intentionally partial information used when the release or narrative benefits from limited access.

Red

Restricted

Unreleased stories, media, commerce, dossiers, and systems remain sealed until they are ready.

Platform Design

Built to expand without redesigning the foundation.

Information architecture

Stories, personnel, organizations, vehicles, locations, media, and records share a common archive vocabulary and navigational structure.

Reusable content model

Record type, metadata, relationships, status, and clearance create repeatable patterns that can support new content without inventing a new page structure each time.

Publishing operations

The static platform is deployed through Cloudflare with versioned assets and release-state controls, supporting fast iteration as new material is cleared.

Across my product work: the domain changes, but the design problem is consistent — understand the system beneath the interface, make its state visible, and build an experience that can grow without collapsing under its own complexity.

Organization

Built and published for MO IP Holdings LLC.

MO IP Holdings LLC owns and publishes the Modus Operandi intellectual property. The World Allied Consortium Archive is the public digital platform for that work and is being released iteratively as the universe expands.
