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 |

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 Ocho 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, Ocho 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.
- Ocho 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 Ocho the direction? Proposal: decide when Param picks one of the five; until then this version is used only when someone reads in the Ocho 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.
