# Vision and mission

## Answer

Where Brew goes in five years and the one sentence we hold ourselves to; the sources give the core sentence and the version ladder, but no vision or mission was ever written, so the call is Param's and a proposal sits in Open.

## Today

### What the sources already say

| Piece | Words | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Core sentence | Your store's marketing team, in one feed | [src: brew/docs/handover/product/00-overview.md:7] |
| Plain promise | Paste your store link. Get this week's marketing ideas, already drafted. Pick the good ones and hand them off | [src: brand-directions/BRIEF.md section 2] |
| Scope | A global feed that suggests Plays and acts on the brand's own stack, never a commerce platform | [src: memory brew-name-and-scope] |
| The ladder | v1 drafts and hands off, v2 posts and schedules with a yes, v3 shows what worked, v4 runs ads inside rules | [src: brand-directions/book/content/a.js a-5 ladder] |
| The dial | Suggest, Prepare, Schedule, Run within rules, set per area and per channel, starting at the lowest | [src: brand-directions/BRIEF.md section 3.6] |
| The longer plan | To own outcomes, with landing pages, holdouts and outcome based pricing; internal only, never in shareable copy | [src: brand-directions/BRIEF.md section 2] |
| Tone | Fun and playful, never serious or creepy; user first | [src: memory brand-directions-2026-10-25] |
| What v1 never does | Post, write to accounts, send to customers, measure | [src: brew/SCOPE.md:32-40] |

### What does not exist

- No vision statement or mission statement in any source [src: brand-directions/book/content/a.js a-1] [src: brand-directions/BRIEF.md section 2]
- The product's future name is open [src: memory brand-directions-2026-10-25]

## Tomorrow

| Item | Version | Tag |
|---|---|---|
| A vision line for the team and investors | v1 | New, once Param picks |
| A mission line that every Play and card can be checked against | v1 | New, once Param picks |
| The core sentence stays the outward promise | v1 to v4 | Stays |
| The mission line grows with the ladder without changing who we are | v2 to v4 | Changes |

## How we do it

1. The vision is for us and investors; customers see the core sentence and the plain promise.
2. Check every new feature against the mission line: does it give the founder back time or confidence on their own stack.
3. When Param picks, record it in the decisions log and update the one page and the investor story the same day.

## Numbers

| Metric | Definition | Where measured | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stores with a weekly hand off | The north star, the number the mission is judged by | See [north star and goals](/company-and-strategy/north-star-and-goals) | Proposed |

## Open

1. **The vision.** Proposal: "In five years, every online store has a marketing team that reads its store every week, drafts what to do, ships it with the owner's yes and learns what worked."
2. **The mission.** Proposal: "Give every store owner this week's marketing, drafted from their own store, with a source on every number, and keep them in charge."
3. **Does the internal plan to own outcomes belong in the vision?** Proposal: keep it out of the vision line and in strategy, so the vision can be shared with partners.
