Anyone have experience using MS Project or Visio to track and manage Threats and/or story arcs for Urban Shadows?

Seems a vibrant, political city with an expansive cast of characters might benefit from a system like those for tracking offstage movements in between sessions…
I’m interested to hear how other gaming groups handle Hunters within a game of political relationships.

I can understand how to square the NPC Oracles’ future-telling with the fact that not every Threat is preemptively dispensed with. That takes a minute to think through, but is ultimately pretty manageable.
Regarding the Hunters, though: it seems that having someone keep “a seat at the table” when that someone “wants to kill some or all of the people at the table” is a tough needle to thread.
Even setting aside a formal City Council or UN Security Council style structure, my feeling is an informal political ecosystem would be tough to maintain. “Yeah, she killed some of my pack members back in ’87, but ultimately she’s a pretty decent person” sort of things emerge
(apologies if this has been discussed previously)
Quick question: are City Moves cloaked in secrecy? Or should players be shared those triggers and effects up front?
