DSMagicQ: Physical processes
Does Puzzle offer any advantages for mapping out non digital processes, like building a house, for example? What if I wanted to document all the interleaved conditions like permits, contract approvals, on time deliveries, trade dependencies, etc.? Can I zoom in and out on sub flows?

Dec 16, 2025A: Hey DS Magic, thanks for your question â yes, the steps don't need to have a software technology assigned to it, for instance, you can assign hardware tools that are used in a process as well, or you could not assign a tool at all.
Many processes within Puzzle have in-person manual steps that take place in the physical world, have in-person requirements, etc., and many features are still useful:
âł the notes are still useful for extra context on that part of the house plan
âł the process costing is still useful to understand labor costs
âł step status is still useful to understand which parts of the house plan are done / not done
âł roles are very useful to see which vendors you're using for which parts of the house plan
So yes, you could use the system for tracking physical processes.
