Answer
Brew on one page in the Buzz direction: what we do, for whom, why now, the loop, the moat and where we are, with Buzz, the bee, speaking only around the facts and never changing them.
Today
The page
| Block | What is true | Source |
|---|---|---|
| What we do | Reads a store and 68 sources around it, writes Plays, turns them into a ranked feed of cards with first drafts, lets the team make each one in a jam and hands off a brief to whoever ships it | brew/SCOPE.md:7-13 brand-directions/docs2/content/inventory.mjs SOURCES |
| For whom | Founder led online brands that sell their own products from their own store, where the founder or one marketer runs marketing; a working guess we test with partners | brand-directions/book/content/b.js b-2 icp |
| Why now | AI reads a whole store in minutes, drafts images, short videos and words, and shoppers now ask AI assistants where to buy | brand-directions/book/content/b.js b-8 why-now |
| The loop | Read, Plays, feed, jam, hand off, and what the team teaches Brew rewrites the Plays | brew/SCOPE.md:7 brew/docs/brew-loop.md:5-15 memory brew-move-freshness |
| The moat | What we know about each store grows every week: connected accounts and learnings rewrite its Plays, and the Brand Book keeps its voice and look | memory brew-connect-refresh memory brew-move-freshness memory brew-brand-book brand-directions/book/content/b.js b-11 moat |
| Where we are | Design partnership with five partner prospects on production since 25 Oct; free during the preview; pricing parked; v1 never posts, sends, spends or measures | memory brew-live-stores memory brew-prod-backend brew/legal-pages.js:40 memory brew-pricing-parked brew/SCOPE.md:32-40 |
| Size today | 65 kinds of Plays; 68 sources in seven groups | brand-directions/docs2/data/plays.json brand-directions/docs2/content/inventory.mjs SOURCES |

- Five words a founder says: Busy bee drafts my marketing brand-directions/docs2/data/dirs.json bee identity

Tomorrow
| Item | Version | Tag |
|---|---|---|
| The page as it stands: read, pick, make, hand off | v1 | Stays |
| Five picks every Monday instead of the whole feed first | v1 | Changes brand-directions/book/content/i.js i-1 one-pager |
| One Hand it off button with a choice of who ships | v1 | Changes |
| A block for posting and scheduling after a yes, with Buzz carrying a new prop | v2 | New |
| A block for what worked | v3 | New |
| A block for ads run inside the owner's rules | v4 | New |
| The wordmark slot fills with the picked name | v1 | Changes, once Param picks |
How we do it
- Lay it out top to bottom: the wordmark slot, Buzz with the tagline, the plain promise, the six blocks, one finding, the sign off.
- The finding is either the sample candle store inside a frame with a visible Sample label, or one real finding from the reader's own read with its source.
- Buzz sits in fixed slots on the cover and the sign off only; every block's words stay plain.
- Never on the page: a price, a partner's name without their written yes, a rival's name, a result or a lift, or anything that says it posts today brand-directions/book/content/i.js i-1 one-pager.
- Shared copy leaves out the name Brew and says Plays.
- When a fact above changes in the code or memory, change it here first, then in the investor story.
Numbers
| Metric | Definition | Where measured | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Partners live | Design partner brands whose home is production | MOVED_TO_PROD in brew deploy.sh |
5 since 25 Oct brew/deploy.sh:41 |
| Weekly hand off stores | Stores with at least one hand off in a Monday to Sunday week | Brief records | Proposed, see north star and goals |
| Read time | Median minutes from paste to a finished read | Read logs | Proposed; the allowed figure is 3 to 4 minutes |
Open
- Is Buzz the direction? Proposal: decide when Param picks one of the five; until then this version is used only when someone reads in the Buzz direction.
- Seven sources or 68? The books say seven sources tick by; the inventory lists 68 in seven groups. Proposal: say 68 sources in seven groups on the page.
- Do we show the partner count? Proposal: say "real brands working with us now" and give no count until partners agree in writing.
