A morning for the person in charge
This is one made-up day for a fictional studio and its founder's pen name, rendered by the same console code that runs in our staging environment. The brief fits in three minutes. Everything else waits as one card per decision.
A preview, on made-up data. The console reads only content-free records: who, when, what kind of message, which warnings fired. It never shows a message's text. Try the buttons: they show what would be recorded, and nothing is sent. Approving and sending are still designed, not built.

What you're looking at
- The brief leads with decisions, then each persona on its own: a pen name never sees the studio's business, and the reverse.
- The cards are banded by rules, not by a model's mood: money at risk and broken records first, then today, this week, whenever.
- Every line cites its records. "Why am I seeing this?" replays the ledger trail of a case, step by step.
- Some cards can't be delegated: money, legal, identity and integrity stay with the accountable person.
