Shouldn't exactly that explanation be in the text file itself too?

Also, how about s/TODO//g for less clutter:

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+  alpha           |      |      |      |      |      |      |  ok  |  ok  |      |

+  arm             |  ok  |  ok  |  ok  |  ok  |  ok  |  ok  |      |  ok  |  ok  |
