A one-page brief with an outcome, decision rights per area on a 7-level scale, resources, check-ins, and done criteria.
Changelog
- v1.0.1 · Nov 4, 2026 · Example: the input now gives the sender and date, the 2-day recording target, the Q1 upsell link, Omar's fixed date and 30 minutes before 20 Feb, the 45-minute preference, last year's materials and Raj's platform access, so the brief invents none of them.
- v1.0.0 · Nov 4, 2026 · First release.
